The business and trading community as also investors reacted very favourably to the recommendation by outgoing Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali that in the new cabinet headed by Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain the Finance Minister Shaukat Aziz should have the ministerial slot with seniority, reports UPP correspondent.
This recommendation by outgoing Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Jamali specially for Shaukat Aziz, shows the importance that Shaukat Aziz has come to enjoy in the PML and the prestige he enjoys with the coalition parties in the ruling coalition.
The presence of Shaukat Aziz in the new cabinet is considered by the business, trading and investing community as a 'good omen' and it also means the continuity of the economic and financial policies of the government.
The various industrialists, businessmen and traders organisations were reviewing the situation created by the exit of Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali and the expected incoming of Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain as the new Prime Minister. It is being hoped in Karachi that the new Prime Minister of Pakistan Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain would pay special attention to the need of Sindh province and specially Karachi.
