Quick Glance: Pakistan's Economy Shows Improvement, PM States

Pakistan's economic indicators are showing positive signs, with a plan for painful reforms and privatization on track, as Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced on Friday.

The Prime Minister mentioned in a live broadcast address to his cabinet that exports and remittances had increased within one-and-a-half months of his government.

The IMF is set to convene on Monday to decide on the disbursement of the second and final tranche of a $3 billion standby agreement secured by Islamabad last summer to prevent a default.

The IMF-led structural reforms require Pakistan to increase its tax to GDP ratio from around 9% to at least 13%-14%, halt losses in state-owned enterprises, and manage its energy losses amounting to trillions of rupees.

Inflation in New Zealand Eases But Near-Term Rate Cuts Unlikely: New Zealand’s consumer prices rose by less than expected in the first three months of this year ...

wsj.com/economy/inflation-in-new-zealand-eases-but-near-term-rate-cuts-unlikely-a4cfaac0

Quick Glance: Powell Warns of Lack of Progress on Inflation

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that the U.S. economy, while otherwise strong, has not seen a return of inflation to the central bank's target.

Powell mentioned that the current policy should remain in place as inflation has not declined quickly enough and there has been no further progress towards the 2% goal.

Since July 2023, the Fed has maintained its benchmark interest rate in a target range between 5.25% and 5.5%, the result of 11 consecutive rate hikes.

Financial markets have had to adjust their expectations for rate cuts this year as inflation has been higher than expected, and the Fed's policy continues to be dependent on data.

Shaheen, Amir star as Pakistan dismiss New Zealand for just 90 in Twenty20 clash - News | Khaleej Times

Quick Glance: Dominant Pakistan Defeats New Zealand in Twenty20 Match

Shaheen Shah Afridi and Mohammad Amir led Pakistan to a convincing victory over New Zealand in their second Twenty20 match in Rawalpindi.

Pakistan opted to let New Zealand bat first, with Shaheen leading the attack with 3-13, while Amir finished with 2-13 after almost four years of international absence.

Spinners Abrar Ahmed (2-15) and Shadab Khan (2-15) intensified the pressure as New Zealand was dismissed for their second lowest score against Pakistan in the shortest format.

The second Twenty20 match was abandoned after just two deliveries due to rain. Both teams are gearing up for the upcoming Twenty20 World Cup set to take place in June in the United States and the West Indies.

X/Twitter will charge new users to post, Elon Musk says: Making users pay is only way to stop bots taking over platform

independent.co.uk/tech/x-twitter-elon-musk-pay-to-post-b2529566.html

Quick Glance: Musk Plans Fee for New X Users

Elon Musk intends to charge new users of X in the initial months to curb the activity of automated bot accounts.

The fee is set to be waived after three months to allow free posting.

Tests in New Zealand and the Philippines raised skepticism about the effectiveness of the fee as a countermeasure against bots.

Declining revenues at X post-rebranding and Twitter acquisition, along with a negative brand perception by companies, are impacting the service's business.
