In Pakistan, the government announced that IMF-mandated asset declarations by civil servants will be made publicly accessible, but in redacted form to balance transparency with personal privacy. The Senate Standing Committee on Finance also ordered investigations into two striking scams: the disappearance of over 400 kilograms of silver and a major portion of 2,000 bags of skimmed milk from Pakistan Customs custody. The asset disclosure push is tied to IMF governance benchmarks — a reminder of the strings attached to international financial support.
