Anysphere was cofounded by Pakistan-born Sualeh Asif. Tuesday's deal follows a blockbuster Nasdaq ​debut for the rockets-to-AI company last week, in which its valuation surged to more than $2 trillion. https://t.co/Ci1Jkikwuj

According to informed official sources, this view is being discussed within policymaking circles and among even the ruling coalition partners as a move that cannot be ignored for too long. https://t.co/NpEQLjACiu

Electricity consumers are likely to face a tariff increase of up to Rs1 per unit because of diversion of locally produced gas to liquefied natural gas (LNG)-fired power plants amid the US-Iran war. https://t.co/hTNERNXvzg

A quote in a newspaper report perfectly illustrates how intellectually bankrupt much of Pakistan's economic discourse remains:

"With a 10-15 year long policy, guaranteed by legislators and without fear of harassment from the FBR, Pakistan can potentially attract billions of dollars from expats..."

Why is attracting billions into property being presented as an economic objective in itself? This reflects a complete misunderstanding of what drives sustainable economic growth.

Pakistan does not become richer because more money flows into plots and apartments. It becomes richer when capital is invested in productive sectors that create jobs, raise productivity, generate exports, and expand the country's technological capabilities.

The comparison with Dubai is equally flawed. Dubai's success was built on trade, logistics, aviation, finance, tourism, infrastructure, and governance. Its property market was a consequence of that success, not the cause of it.

The more troubling issue is that a newspaper can reproduce such claims without challenging the underlying assumption that property speculation is somehow synonymous with economic development. Pakistan's problem is not a shortage of money chasing real estate. It is a shortage of productive investment. https://t.co/n5sOXKp9uB

Punjab Govt unveiled a Rs5.903 trillion budget for the next financial year, slashing the province’s Annual Development Programme by about 40% to Rs752 billion from the outgoing year’s estimate of Rs1.24tr, while promising estimated cash surplus of Rs910bn. https://t.co/O0XFq41pDb

11.5pc policy rate hard to justify with expected 8pc inflation as in the budget. Policy rate should consider data but it must always look at the future expectations. With the softening of oil prices and a slow economy, Pakistan must cut its policy rate. https://t.co/XIBmrJX7wI

China has developed a mosquito-sized bionic drone, that can be used for info reconnaissance and other special tasks on the battlefield.

The device weighs less than 0.3 grams and imitates insect flight, almost impossible to be targeted.

Pakistan has unveiled the second phase of its tariff rationalisation plan, foregoing an estimated Rs143.4 billion in revenue to lower trade barriers, enhance industrial competitiveness and support long-term economic growth.

Key measures include:

• Reduction in average tariffs from 16.56% to 13% in FY27

• Rationalisation of Additional Customs Duties and Regulatory Duties

• Measures aimed at reducing anti-export bias and lowering input costs for industry

• Further liberalisation of used vehicle imports, including reducing the additional regulatory duty from 40% to 30% and removing the existing five-year age limit, subject to quality and environmental standards.

The reforms represent a significant shift towards a more open and competitive economy, aligned with Pakistan's broader trade liberalisation agenda and IMF-backed structural reforms.

@aamir_ibrahim01 a welcome step towards democratising investment & broadening access to govt securities. With Pakistan’s savings rate among the lowest in the region, initiatives that enable millions to save and invest from as little as Rs 5,000 can play an important role in mobilising domestic savings, deepening financial inclusion, and supporting long-term economic growth.
