The choice of Shaukat Tarin as Minister of Finance is a welcome addition to Imran Khan’s cabinet.

The businessmen of Pakistan are shrewd enough to realise that their weakness is finance.
They cannot afford to be on the wrong side of the Bank or the ministry.
As any industrialist or businessman knows, we cannot survive even for a day without a banker’s support.
Finance is the inherent weakness of any business. Of necessity they must cooperate.
Shaukat brings with him a high loyalty factor, and is a die hard Pakistani and will not tolerate any harm to his country.
Shaukat knows the intricacies of the Pakistani market place and the foibles of the businessmen from the pan wala to the tycoon.
This will now ensure that even the IPPs will fall into line. Their excuse of international contracts will suddenly become negotiable.
