Finance Minister of Pakistan - Asad Umar
Asad Umar, the finance minister of Pakistan, on the challenge of reforming Pakistan's economy and weaning it off international bailouts.
It took former cricketer Imran Khan two decades of political slog to win power in Pakistan. It’s taken his critics just months to decide he’s out of his depth. They point to the country’s crippled economy, propped up by emergency loans despite the Prime Minister's promise to end the begging bowl culture. Is the PTI government strong enough to put Pakistan on a new course? Stephen Sackur speaks to Pakistan’s Finance Minister, Asad Umar.
