Premiership

Economic policy
The new government was faced with multiple economic challenges upon formation, mainly relating to the completion of the $6 billion IMF bailout programme approved during Imran Khan's tenure. The government decided not to remove fuel and power subsidies imposed by Imran Khan during the last days of his tenure, viewing such a move as politically damaging to the new government. This was opposed by the Finance Ministry, on the grounds that it could jeopardise the IMF programme and increase the fiscal deficit. Foreign policy
The government immediately sought to mend ties with the United States that were strained by Imran Khan's Lettergate controversy, despite Washington's increasing prioritisation of India over Pakistan in its foreign policy. Experts believed the goal of this was to balance relations between the US and China, while also prioritising CPEC-related cooperation with China. However, Pakistan has only received a limited response from the Biden administration, the United States and India have also demanded that Pakistan stop cross-border terrorist activities. Political crisis
2022–2023 Pakistan political unrest continues, and clashes intensify after arrest of former PM Imran Khan. Following the unrest, the Pakistani government supported the transfer of protesters to court-martial. Reaction
