According to the details, Prime Minister Imran Khan was unhappy with former Finance minister Hafeez Shaikh’s performance due to “rising inflation” across Pakistan.

Taking to Twitter, the minister wrote, “I am honoured to be entrusted with the additional charge of Finance by the Prime Minister. Pakistan’s economy has made significant gains towards stabilization since 2018. We shall continue to consolidate these gains and strengthen the growth momentum.”

He further added, “We navigated econ fallout of covid-19 fairly well. The world is witnessing supply chain disruptions and the rise in food prices. We shall endeavour to protect our people from these shocks. With hard work and integrity, we will InshAllah build Naya Pakistan under the leadership of PM Imran Khan.”
