After much speculation and delays, on Tuesday, Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani administered the oath to 37 federal ministers and ministers of state, who will form the cabinet of newly elected PM Shehbaz Sharif. These issues will of course have to be addressed in some way in order to maintain harmony within the coalition. In addition to these internal issues is the huge oil subsidy that is a major cause of concern for the new government. It is clear that the government is finding it hard to undo the capping of the oil price and end the subsidy on oil. The government will be praying for an early decline in the international oil price to find some relief, however.
