Maria Teresa Daban Sanchez, Resident Representative of IMF, Pakistan, conducted a seminar in IMSciences Peshawar on "IMF Extended Fund Facility Arrangement for Pakistan" here on the other day. The seminar was attended by the students and faculty of IMSciences as well as outsiders. The chief guest was Sanchez, who has specialized in Macroeconomics and is the resident representative of IMF, Pakistan, says a press release issued here.
The Director IMSciences, Dr Muhammad Mohsin Khan, welcomed the IMF team and all the other guests. He described to the guests what IMSciences is and how it functions as an institute and how it has achieved tremendous success over the years. He talked about the relation that exists between the IMF and Pakistan and claimed that this relation will improve and hopefully it will benefit the education sector to a vast extent.
Teresa Sanchez took over the stage and thanked IMS for welcoming her and giving her this opportunity to explain how the IMF will help the economy of Pakistan. The crux of her presentation was the Macro-Critical Imbalances of Pakistan. She talked about how living in Pakistan for some time made it possible for her to see some major issues in our economy and that it enabled her to conduct a study and generate ideas on how it can be improved. She explained how the IMF works in helping countries all over the world not only financially but in other ways as well.
After the presentation, there was a Q&A session in which all the participants of the seminar were given a chance to ask any questions that they had from Sanchez. Towards the end of the session, Director IMSciences, Dr Muhammad Mohsin Khan presented Teresa Sanchez with a shield as a memento. The seminar proved to be very informative for the students and faculty of IMS and also for the outsiders. IMSciences hopes to conduct more of such beneficial seminars in the future.-PR
