Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar has reportedly finalized the names of Cabinet members.

Sources told ProPakistani that former governor of the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) Dr Shamshad Akhtar is likely to capture the all-important position of Finance Minister in the caretaker government.

Dr Akhtar worked as finance minister in an interim setup back in 2018. She is currently also heading the Board of Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX).
