Senator Faisal Saleem Rahman has made history by becoming the first Pakistani lawmaker to be chosen as a member of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank’s parliamentary board.
Starting his six-year term in March 2021, Senator Faisal represents Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in this role. The parliamentary board, which includes representatives from 140 countries, works together to create ideas for improving the economy and reducing poverty.
Senator Faisal’s election is significant because it shows that Pakistan is gaining more importance and influence in these global financial institutions. This appointment could lead to positive changes and benefits for Pakistan in the international financial arena.
