I'm pleased to announce that @ElphinstoneCap has acquired Trikl, a digital asset management company in Pakistan.

We have always wanted to offer the full spectrum of investing products to Pakistanis. This will help us achieve that goal.

I've been working with @JiqbalPK and the team on @PakAndCounting for more than a month. I'm learning a lot of new things and am excited to share them with the world. Not to mention @meiryumali for being a huge help.

Yeah reporting on politics is great, but reporting on corporations is what keeps me hooked

Bloomberg Businessweek cover story is how LNG traders left Pakistan in the cold

LNG that would otherwise have been sent to Pakistan began going to richer countries

This is an example how traders can profit at the expense of some

Wrote a long read for Dawn Prism: on how the move to evict Pakistan’s Afghan refugees is utterly unjust; the history of the citizenship law (like the state’s broken promise with Biharis); and the statelessness that Afghan refugees have faced for decades.

Wise has stopped opening new accounts in Pakistan and is beginning to shut down accounts in some countries. Pakistanis who want a foreign USD account have just one option, Payoneer, which charges 2% fees on everything.

@ElphinstoneCap is working on an alternative. Stay tuned.

What is the most eaten candy in Pakistan? The answer is Chili Mili. And when it comes to biscuits, Sooper is the undisputed King with Cocomo a distant second.

All the cute shit aside, sugary snacks is a huge market with some tough competition. Read on:
