Officials have expressed optimism that the findings from the audit will facilitate constructive negotiations with the IMF, which is essential for the country to stabilize its economy and foster sustainable growth. The anticipated agreement is expected to include measures aimed at enhancing fiscal responsibility and promoting economic resilience in the face of global economic uncertainties.
