Hectic consultations are underway at the top government level to appoint a successor to Shahid Kardar, the State Bank of Pakistan governor who recently resigned from office.
A source, without confirming the names under consideration, said on Sunday that the appointment of the SBP governor would be made at the earliest to complete the homework for an early visit of the IMF team. Asked about the media reports about Kardar’s lengthy resignation letter, he said the reports were incorrect as the letter was a normal “four-liner” one.
He said Kardar had not indulged in any blame game as he acknowledged that it was a privilege to have served the country. About delay in the arrival of the IMF team, he said it was done as the government had not completed its homework for the talks. He said it was also incorrect to say that Kardar’s resignation had not reached the presidency.
