Pakistan has informed the IMF that electricity and gas prices will continue to rise under ongoing energy reforms, as the government moves toward a full cost-recovery model.
Regular tariff adjustments, including quarterly electricity changes and monthly fuel charges, will continue without delay. Subsidies will be limited to protected consumer categories, while the overall subsidy cap has been set for FY27.
The government also committed to managing circular debt, increasing transparency in the gas sector, and privatizing key power distribution companies by 2027. These measures are part of broader IMF-backed reforms aimed at stabilizing the energy sector and improving fiscal discipline.
