Amid a worsening economic crisis after the deadly floods, Pakistan's Finance Minister Miftah Ismail resigned on Sunday. He is the fifth finance minister of the country to quit in four years. Reportedly, senior Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Ishaq Dar is set to become the next finance minister. Notably, Dar has been living in self-exile in London since 2017 after being accused of corruption.
