Addressing concerns of financial inclusivity, Minister Aurangzeb highlighted government assistance provided to impoverished women in Pakistan.

When all else fails, resort to speculation. Has the FM lost his mind?

Concentrate on how to privatize and cut govt footprint. Otherwise you will just be like the previous finance ministers whose job was borrowing from IMF and other international lenders.

@Aamir , lmao, the only reason they need a finance minister is that they have someone to talk to international lenders, who better to do that than one of heir own?

They do not appoint a finance minter to tackle actual pressing underlying financial issues. Sad people still think things will turn around like almost overnight. Maybe 50 years with constant good govt
