KARACHI, Pakistan, March 6 (Reuters) - Pakistan is committed
to align its official and informal foreign exchange market
rates, the International Monetary Fund's resident representative
said on Monday, days after the cash-strapped country's currency
plunged dramatically as it works to revive its stalled bailout
programme.
A permanent power surcharge on consumers is also among
measures planned by Pakistani authorities to address energy
sector debt, IMF's Esther Perez Ruiz told Reuters in an emailed
response.
