In another tweet, the finance minister expressed the hope that the country would see a turnaround in economic situation very soon.

He said “The Current Account Deficit for April came in at $623 million, less than half the average for the first 9 months of the fiscal year. This is a very good sign for external stability. With positive IMF talks underway, we expect a turnaround in the economic situation very soon.”
