Malik Sir Ghulam Muhammad CIE (Urdu: ملک غلام محمد; 20 April 1895 – 12 September 1956) was a Pakistani civil servant who served as the third Governor-General of Pakistan from October 1951 until his dismissal in August 1955. He previously served as the country's first Finance Minister in the cabinet of Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan.
Educated at Aligarh Muslim University,[1], Ghulam Muhammad worked as a chartered accountant before joining the Indian Railway Services as an auditor for India's Finance Ministry. He opted for Pakistan following independence, and was appointed the new country's first Finance Minister. He drafted Five-Year Plans for the economy in 1948, based on the Soviet model, but was unable to implement them due to lack of staff and sufficient materials. He also organized the International Islamic Economic Conference held at Karachi from November 26 to December 6,1949, and called for forming a pan-Islamic economic bloc of the Muslim countries.
