But certain mishaps were also committed during her tenure. Like they issued 5 RS. notes with only one serial number and then they had to cancel it while the notes were already in circulation. They changed the design/color of 20 RS notes again. SBP couldn’t stop the black marketing of new currency etc.
Overall, it’s always good to see women on top posts. Like we had this female foreign office spokesperson. Women deserve equal chances
