Most of us feel a small knot in the stomach when someone mentions a “tax return”. We picture stacks of paper, a consultant’s fee, and a long queue at a tax office.
The good news is that none of that is needed any more.

Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik said on Saturday that addressing public concerns over the availability and unfair pricing of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) was a government priority.
Earlier this week, the government unveiled a new LPG policy, aimed at creating competition and supplies through procurement by four state-owned enterprises (SOEs) under government-to-government (G2G) and business-to-business (B2B) arrangements.
The government directed four state-owned enterprises to re-enter the LPG import business to ease severe supply constraints and soaring prices.

Editorial: Pakistan's external debt has nearly doubled in a decade — from $68.7bn in 2015 to $135.1bn in 2025 — according to a new World Bank report. Public and publicly guaranteed debt accounts for $107.1bn of the total, private debt for $17.6bn, and short-term borrowing for $10.45bn.
China is the largest single creditor with $22.4bn outstanding, followed by the World Bank and Asian Development Bank. The rise itself is not surprising but the pace is striking. Much of this borrowing went towards plugging external financing gaps, propping up reserves, and repaying older loans to keep the economy running.

The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) on Friday announced a controversial revision of a special electricity tariff introduced as an incentive to revive industrial activity, while approving an additional burden of Rs2.37 per unit on electricity consumers for November.
The decision, opposed by the industrial sector, is likely to have a negative impact on all electricity consumers, including those served by K-Electric and other distribution companies (Discos).
All four members of the regulator unanimously held the Power Division and its subordinate entities responsible for failing to fulfil their legal obligations within the prescribed timelines, pushing Nepra into an unprecedented deadlock and potentially increasing costs for electricity consumers across the country.

"Robert Lucas, a towering figure of 20th-century macroeconomics and a Nobel laureate, opined on economic growth and the standard of living that “the consequences for human welfare involved in questions like these are simply staggering: once one starts to think about them, it is hard to think about anything else” (On the Mechanics of Economic Development, 1988).
The context of his observation was the significant differences in standards of living across the globe. I contemplated the same — specifically, whether our economic future might offer us some respite from our perennial failures. Sadly, it does not look good. What follows is a brief narration of various considerations that led me to this conclusion."
