Quick Summary

Moeen Qureshi served as Pakistan's caretaker prime minister, supported by the armed forces, during a period of significant political and economic challenges. His administration implemented swift reforms, including devaluing the national currency, addressing corruption, and demanding repayment of debts. Qureshi also focused on austerity measures and challenged the influence of politicians and wealthy landowners.1

While these actions brought in new funds, they also led to increased prices for essential goods, drawing criticism from sidelined politicians. Qureshi also initiated reforms in law enforcement to combat drug trafficking. His tenure was a notable departure from previous profligacy and inefficiency in Pakistan's governance.1
