ISLAMABAD: After Naveed Kamran Baloch relieved the charge as Secretary Finance, Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday appointed Kamran Afzal on this important position with the assignment to steer the economy out of the crisis mode.
The newly-appointed secretary finance will have to face the challenge of reviving the stalled IMF programme in such a way that it does not burden the economy and voiceless consumers of the energy sector. A notification of the appointment of Kamran Afzal as Secretary Finance was issued by the Establishment Division on Thursday.
There were some other strong contenders such as Zafar Hassan, Ali Raza Bhutta and Mohsin Chandna. Secretary Cabinet Division Ahmed Nawaz Sukhera was not among the contenders because he had already touched the peak of his career.
