Reliable sources told Headline PK that Muhammad Aurangzeb is a strong contender for the role of Pakistan’s next finance minister, as Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif prepares to finalize his federal cabinet appointments.
This development comes amid reports that Ishaq Dar, a former finance minister and close associate of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Nawaz Sharif, is not under consideration due to health concerns.
However, there are hints that Dar may be offered another significant position, given his previous challenges in rejuvenating the stalled International Monetary Fund (IMF) program during the Pakistan Democratic Movement.
Muhammad Aurangzeb, formerly the President of HBL, emerges as the frontrunner for the finance minister role, according to reports. With over 30 years of extensive international banking experience, including leadership roles at JP Morgan’s Global Corporate Bank in Asia, Aurangzeb brings a wealth of expertise to the position.
