RIYADH: Federal Minister for Finance Muhammad Aurangzeb said on Sunday that his government was considering taking an initiative of introducing digital currency in Pakistan.

According to a private TV channel, during a special session of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Saudi Arabia, Finance Minister Aurangzeb expressed Pakistan’s contemplation towards digital currency adoption.

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

Aurangzeb expects central bank reserves to be $9-10bn by FY24-end

Finance Minister Aurangzeb also acknowledged common grievances where women often face cash theft by male family members and advocated for digital wallet solutions to empower them financially.

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
