My Take
Ishaq Dar interests me as a numbers man carrying an entire economy on his shoulders. He rose from accountant to repeatedly serving as Pakistan's finance minister, then climbed to deputy prime minister and foreign minister by 2024. As a trusted aide of the Sharif family, he has spent decades in the trenches of Lahore politics. What I respect is the substance over flash. Managing currency and fiscal policy in turbulent times is thankless, exhausting work. Born in 1950 and still on the front line, he embodies a kind of durable, unglamorous competence that I genuinely admire in public servants.
