DUBAI, Nov 11 (Reuters) - Pakistan's government should meet its fiscal deficit target in the first six months of the 2009/10 fiscal year despite a slippage in the first quarter, the country's central bank governor said late on Tuesday.

Pakistan pledged to keep its fiscal deficit at 4.9 percent of gross domestic product in the 2009/10 fiscal year under a deal for aid from the International Monetary Fund.

The country's finance ministry is yet to report the figures for the first fiscal quarter, which started in July, with analysts expecting it to overshoot the target by 0.3 percent.

"All it (the slippage) has to do was the timing. Timing of certain fiscal expenditures," State Bank of Pakistan Governor Salim Raza told Reuters in an interview in the United Arab Emirates.
