No Risk of Default – Pakistan Will Meet Debt Obligations on Time: SBP Governor

Photo Credits: Dawn.com

Governor State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), Jameel Ahmed said that Pakistan will repay all its debts on time and there are no risks of the country defaulting due to the nonpayment of international debts.

Ahmed was addressing the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) and said, “Let me assure you that we will be meeting all our debt obligations on time and there should be no concern about that.”

The probability of the country defaulting rose to 52.8% this week, which is the highest in the last 13 years. Pakistani currency was recently downgraded by two global credit rating agencies including Fitch Ratings and Moody’s Investors. The downgrading is based on the apprehension that in the wake of the recent catastrophic floods, causing over $30 billion losses, Pakistan’s capacity to pay back the debts is very week.

Ahmed continued, “Pakistan received a $1.5 billion loan from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) recently. Additional inflows from some other multilateral and bilateral institutions including the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) are also expected soon.”

“These inflows not only help meet our debt obligations but also improve our foreign exchange reserves.” Earlier, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) revived its $6.5 billion loan program for Pakistan through a combined seventh and eighth review of the economy on August 29, 2022,” he said.

According to Ahmed, “So far, over 10,000 non-resident Pakistanis from across the globe have invested $35 million (Rs7.8 billion) in stocks of companies listed at the PSX.”

“While investment via RDA into the stock exchange has been relatively subdued, amounting to around only $35 million,” he added, “investments into the conventional and Shariah-compliant Naya Pakistan certificates through RDA stood at $1.7 billion and $1.6 billion respectively.”

“Over 484,000 RDAs have been opened by non-resident Pakistanis from 175 countries across the world. The total inflows from these RDAs stand at around $5.28 billion. The launch of the Roshan Equity Investment (at the PSX) was made at an opportune time,” he added.

5 must watch comedy movies of all times

With the changing priorities of society, with each passing day, comedy movies are becoming classier. Today, they are no longer a source of entertainment for kids and families. They have become a part of the adult culture and are adored by many. We have listed a collection of comedy movies from all eras and genres.

Bridesmaids

The film “Bridesmaids” is a comedy about five friends who have stayed friends since college and are now in their mid-30s. They agree to throw a bridal shower for their friend Annie, who is just getting married. The film displays the comedic scuffles of the characters and how they handle their life, love, and relationships. It’s nearly impossible to write a review of Bridesmaids without observing how witty and funny it is. The dialogue is so ordinary and often amusing that you can’t help but laugh out loud while watching it.

2. Superbad

“Superbad” became an enormous hit with its edgy humor and was nominated for several awards. It had a massive imprint on Hollywood as it presented the youthfulness and proactivity of recent movies such as “The Hangover.” Superbad is well thought-out to be one of Seth Rogan’s funniest roles. Actors like Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Bill Hader, Rachel McAdams, and Bill Paxton perform the finest in this movie.

3. When Harry Met Sally

When Harry Met Sally is an American romantic comedy film released to be watched in 1989, the film stars Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan as friends who find love surprisingly after meeting on a pancontinental flight and has been attributed with popularizing the terms “manic pixie dream girl” and “terrible teens.” Right after its release, it established universal acclaim from censors and several awards, including the Academy Awards for Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor for Bruno Kirby’s performance as Nicky Kahlil.

4. Coming To America

Coming to America is a 1988 American comedy-drama film directed by John Landis and starring Eddie Murphy. Landis and Barry Blaustein wrote the script. Coming to America has been well-thought-out to be one of the most ethnically influential films ever made about African Americans in America. It remains a cult classic today, particularly among Afro-Caribbean Americans, for its portrayal of African American culture in New York City during the 1980s.

5. Best In Show

The 2000 film “Best in Show” spins around a group of dog breeders hopeful of competing to have their dog adjudicated as the best in the show. The movie is roughly based on the real-world Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. When it comes to funny and cheerful films, many people may not think of 2000’s Best in Show, but this movie is absolutely worth watching.

Government Agrees to Increase Panadol Price

The government has allowed to increase Paracetamol prices as it cannot offer any subsidy to the company or waive import duties on the raw material. Panadol is a drug used to relieve pain and reduce fever. The drug is high in demand in Pakistan post catastrophic floods and, dengue and malaria outbreak. The manufacturer stopped making the medicine, causing a shortage in the market while creating a medical emergency in the healthcare sector.

After the recent agreement, the price of a single Panadol tablet will be increased by 48-56 paisa while the price of a Panadol syrup bottle will be up by Rs. 12.8.

The government is already suffering financially and is discouraging import of raw material. It also has no budget for subsidy due to spending limitations imposed by IMF.

The new price hike is around 25.6% for tablets and 12% for syrup.

An official statement issued by the Finance Ministry stated that Ishaq Dar, Finance Minister, held meetings with the concerned authorities from the pharmaceutical industry to discuss the retail price of Paracetamol products.

The ministry has announced that the pharmaceutical companies have accepted the new prices of Paracetamol 500mg tablet to be Rs. 2.35/tablet, Paracetamol Extra 500 mg tablet to be Rs. 2.75/tablet and syrup at Rs. 117.6/bottle.

According to the ministry, the price hike is almost half of the increase the manufacturers have demanded. The companies have restarted the production of paracetamol after the announcement.

The proposed increase suggested by the Health Ministry was Rs. 1.87 for a Paracetamol 500mg tablet making it Rs. 2.67, around 43% (80 paisa) increase. However, the finance minister agreed to a 48 paise hike only.

Who says NO to chocolates? No one. True, but do you know your favorite chocolate, too, is available in different colors and types. Sounds yummy, isn’t it?

Without a wasting a single second, let us read about the different types this mood-lifter is offered in.

Milk Chocolate

This is probably the most-consumed type of chocolate the world because of its sweet and creamy taste. Its texture is silky and smooth. You take a bite of milk chocolate, and it starts melting in your mouth. This type of chocolate is made with 12% milk and 10% chocolate liquor.

Dark Chocolate

For a chocolate to be classified Dark, it must have at least 35% chocolate liquor (source: United Stated Food and Drug Administration – FDA). If a chocolate has 65-70% liquor, it is supposed to be bitter and less creamy. When the percentage reaches 80 or above, the chocolate becomes very bitter and brittle to enjoy on its own. Therefore, dark chocolate is mostly used in baking and other desserts.

Unsweetened Chocolate

This is simply chocolate liquor without any added dairy or sugar. Due to its very bitter taste, unsweetened chocolate is considered best for baking and cooking requiring intense chocolate flavor. It is mostly used to balance flavors in recipes where the amount of sugar used is already very high.

White Chocolate

With no traces of cocoa solids, this chocolate is white in color. It is made from 12% cocoa butter and 4% milk, cream or milk solids. Sometimes vanilla is also added to enhance the flavor of white chocolate, however, it is not mandatory.

Let us know in the comments section which one of these is your favorite chocolate.

IMF Demands Pakistan to Impose More Taxes

Pakistan is currently suffering from the worst economic crisis. The double-digit inflation has reduced the purchasing power of people while the government also seems to be struggling with revenue generation. Amidst the existing financial crunch, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has asked Pakistan to foist nearly Rs. 600 billion additional taxes while urging Islamabad to set up a task force to deal with corruption.

Though currently Pakistan’s economy is generating healthy revenue, the demand for more taxes has arisen due to an anticipated tax-to-GDP ratio shortfall.

However, the Pakistani authorities are yet to accept the demand of additional taxes by the IMF.

Afaque Qureshi, spokesman and a member of Inland Revenue Policy says, “The FBR is not considering any proposal to impose more taxes.”

Considering the current political situation in the country, it is highly unlikely that the coalition government of Pakistan Democratic Movement will accept this new demand. The ruling party, Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML -N), has lost the support of many voters in the wake of increasing cost of living ever since it has taken the charge of the office and it seems like that PML – N is not ready to take any more risks.

Sources have revealed that the IMF wanted Pakistan to impose a sales tax on petroleum prices, however, the Finance Minister Ishaq Dar has rejected the proposal.

Pakistani rupee is losing its value and the recent floods have further sabotaged the economy. Currently, the inflation in the country is around 23% and the GDP growth stands at 2%.

Rishi Sunak becomes the first Indian-origin PM of the United Kingdom

Rishi Sunak wins the Conservative Party leadership race and is set to become the next UK PM. The development follows weeks of turmoil; Sunak will be the third British premier in two months after Boris Johnson and Liz Truss resigned.

Rishi Sunak was the only person formally nominated to become the Conservative leader, meaning the planned week-long contest no longer needed to continue. Instead, Sunak will spend Monday preparing to take over at Downing Street. That will happen after outgoing Prime Minister Liz Truss visits King Charles III to formally resign. Charles will accept her resignation, and then welcome Sunak for a meeting and ask him to form a government.

Truss, who replaced Boris Johnson, lasted 44 days in the job to Sunak: ‘You have my full support’, said in her tweet.

“Congratulations @RishiSunak on being appointed as Leader of the Conservative Party and our next Prime Minister,” Truss said on Twitter. “You have my full support.”

Congratulations @RishiSunak on being appointed as Leader of the Conservative Party and our next Prime Minister.

You have my full support.

Labour MP says in a tweet that Sunak has ‘no mandate, no answers and no ideas’

Opposition Labour Party MP Angela Rayner has questioned Sunak’s appointment as the Conservative Party’s new leader, saying he has “no mandate, no answers, and no ideas”, and called for the public to have their say at a general election.

“The Tories have crowned Rishi Sunak without him saying a word about what he would do as PM,” Rayner, Labour’s deputy leader, tweeted.

“He has no mandate, no answers and no ideas. Nobody voted for this. The public deserve their say on Britain’s future through a General Election. It’s time for a fresh start with Labour.”

Rishi Sunak becoming the PM of the United Kingdom is quite big news all over the world. From experienced politicians to the general public, everyone has different perspectives.

Pakistan’s election commission has debarred ex-PM Imran Khan from holding public office.

In a unanimous decision, Pakistan’s election commission (ECP) has found former Prime Minister Imran Khan accused of “corrupt practices” and proved him ineligible to be a member of parliament.

Ex-PM Pakistan Mr. Imran Khan had been suspected of incorrectly declaring particulars of presents from foreign dignitaries and takings from their alleged sale. The gifts comprised Rolex watches, a ring, and a pair of cuff links. His lawyers stated they would encounter the commission’s decision in the high court.

Imran Khan called on his followers to protest against the Friday decision, saying that vital rights and democracy had been suppressed in Pakistan. Videos on social media displayed police firing tear gas to scatter his supporters holding a dissent outside the capital Islamabad. Security in the city has been trodden up. Hours later, He asked people to close their protest.

As a result of the disqualification, he “ceases to be a member of the National Assembly of Pakistan, and his seat has become vacant accordingly,” the ruling adds. Mr. Khan has been disqualified till the end of the current National Assembly term, which started in 2018.

Despite being disqualified, Imran Khan remains hugely popular among the nation. Currently, Pakistanis are questioning these decisions aggressively and might also take action. The unanimous conclusion by a five-member panel of the election commission is a huge hindrance to the whole judiciary system of Pakistan.

Mr. Khan confessed last month to have sold at least four gifts he had received in his tenure as prime minister and that they had been counted in his income tax returns. Government officials must declare all contributions but are permissible to keep those below a specific value.

The former Prime Minister of Pakistan has ultimately denied the charges in contrast to him. Formerly, he had not publicly displayed some gifts on national security grounds. Still, in a written suggestion, he admitted buying items valued at nearly $100,000 (£90,000) and selling them for more than double that amount.
