WASHINGTON: The International Monetary Fund yesterday said that Iran should implement policies to safeguard its macroeconomic stability in the face of reimposed US sanctions that will cut Iranian economic growth by reducing oil exports.
IMF spokesman Gerry Rice also told a regular media briefing that the Fund was urging Iran to strengthen its anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism financing frameworks to comply with international standards by a deadline in February 2019.
Rice said the IMF was sending a mission to Islamabad on Sunday to launch financing talks with Pakistan.
