Stocks fall on rate-cut pause, IMF worries – Business

KARACHI: In spite of the rapid slowdown in inflation, the uncertainty about the economic outlook on the IMF’s ongoing review of the IMF’s ongoing rate of interest rate, played a vital role in the fish campaign for the second straight session on Tuesday.
