Ishaq Dar has no solid plan for SOEs. All these meetings are held to show that he is doing something useful. He should be focusing on loss making SOEs that are a drain on taxpayers money. He has already upset the IMF and undone all work by Miftah Ismael . He is not an economist and has no idea on how to deal with the IMF. He should pack up his bags and leave for London while he still has the chance.
