Still can't get over this news
Have you seen the guy they replaced him with?Why? What is the problem?
Also Asad was and still is the best man for the job
Same here my hope is crumbling.... I get Fawad Chaudry was bad but then IK went ahead and made corrupt aunty Firdous Ashiq as info minister. Pathetic decision making.Just look at Imran Khan and PTI official facebook pages, people are really disappointed. The hope they were looking at after July 25, 2018 is dwindling.

Hafeez is to be considered and has been given equal powers entitled by Finance Minister. He is only legally an advisor on Finance and not FM only because he is not member parliament, ( thanx @Farah Sohail )
Anyways, it is well known that Hafeez Sheikh is IMF's man. I'm sure he would have demanded free hand from IK before accepting this job.
Further down the road, I wonder how PPP and PMLN would react when Pak Steel and PIA are put up for privatization as it has been politicised by them in the past along with PTI itself.
I wonder how PTI cadres, leave alone the rest, will react when it dawns on them that Hafeez Sheikh has Indian business partners in his Dubai based concern...Steel Mill Privatization or not will be made a charged issue...not that there is any mala fide per say on his part but many of us Pakistanis, regardless of political affiliation, tend to assume just born status when things go south or the going gets tough and it suits us to blame anyone but ourselves for years and years of economic rot.
@Proudpakistaniguy @Imad.Khan Bhai log, your opinion on this issue...
As I said in an earlier pos (somewhere), this is most likely the one and only (last) shuffle before the system wrap up. Question is, will IK survive to play another day or he will be retired in the new system. That will depend on his timing of dissolving assemblies.
It doesn't matters why DAR did, but for a common pakistani, prices of feul, gas and electricity plus the average price of daily use items like milk, sugar, meat was still in reach of the poor and middle class???? A country can't be ran on some immature dreams and a few moral slogans of the PTIans ?What a load of!
Ishaq Dar laid butt up in front of IMF and put the sovereignty of the country as collateral.
People like you are only concerned with lining your pockets, the country can burn down it won't matter to you.
I gss, thy know me and they know also the reality tht even though whatever allegations been thrown on DAR, still he is the only single, pakistani finance minster who took the loan from IMF and repaid it back?
Who told u tht Asad Umar brought down the massive trade Deficit?He may or may not be a complete incompetent but Hafeez Sheikh is definitely not as good or better than Asad if not worst.
The question arises then why was Asad Umar fired (despite some of his mistakes) but when he had already brought down the Current Account Deficit from $15 Billion, a massive crater left by PMLN, down to just about $9Billion ???(fact credit: @PakSword )
The possible answer may be more than what meet the eyes:
... that Asad Umar is a political die hard PTI leader while Hafeez Sheikh is not.
... Asad was thought of as arrogant by IMF where as Hafeez Sheikh looks like IMF blue eyed as he has no such die hard political affiliation to IK.
...Asad tried his best to avoid IMF but Hafeez Sheikh has no such track record of trying to avoid IMF.
...While Asad Omar would have tried his best to find ways to out maneuver IMF and give some relief to the masses as politically elect are afterall answerable to public, Hafeez Sheikh has no such concerns but to follow IMF's lead to the letter.
And lastly, if you were IMF, would you rather deal and work with Asad or someone you have the financial muscle to appoint?
