KSE-100 Index Decline Deepens as Investors Dump Banking and Energy Stocks

/

KSE-100 Index Decline extended into Friday’s trading session as investors rushed to secure profits from heavyweight banking and energy stocks, dragging the benchmark lower despite impressive gains in several sectors. The Pakistan Stock Exchange witnessed a highly volatile session that reflected growing caution among investors. While selected stocks delivered double-digit gains, selling pressure in major index-heavy companies outweighed positive momentum elsewhere. Out of the 100 companies in the index, 45 posted gains, 54 recorded losses, and one remained unchanged, indicating a slightly negative market breadth. Banking and Energy Giants Trigger Market Sell-Off The primary reason behind the latest KSE-100 Index Decline was heavy profit-taking in banking and oil exploration stocks. Among the biggest contributors to the market’s fall were: Banking sector pressure: United Bank Limited (UBL), MCB Bank, and Meezan Bank significantly weighed on the benchmark as investors booked profits following recent rallies. Oil and gas exploration weakness: Oil & Gas Development Company (OGDC) and Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) emerged among the largest drags on the index. UBL MCB Bank Meezan Bank OGDC PPL PSX and Textile Stocks Offer Relief While large-cap stocks struggled, several companies delivered impressive performances. Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) emerged as one of the strongest gainers, rising 10 percent. Other notable performers included PGLC, KTML, NPL, and GAL. PSX +10% PGLC KTML NPL GAL Sector-wise support came from investment banks and securities companies, automobile assemblers, the property sector, textile composite companies, and auto parts manufacturers. Broader Market Remains Active Despite KSE-100 Index Decline Although the benchmark index closed in negative territory, broader market activity remained robust. The All-Share Index declined by 297.61 points to close at 102,885.53 points. Interestingly, 248 companies closed higher compared to 205 that declined, showing that investor interest remained active beyond the benchmark stocks. Most Active Stocks Capture Investor Attention TPL Properties (TPLP), TPL Corp (TPL), and PACE attracted the highest trading volumes, each recording more than 41 million shares traded. Other heavily traded stocks included BECO, HASCOLNC, PASLNC, WorldCall Telecom (WTL), WAVESAPP, Bank of Punjab (BOP), and UNITY Foods. Middle East Developments Keep Investors on Edge Market participants remained closely focused on developments in the Middle East, particularly their potential impact on global oil prices and investor risk appetite. Analysts believe concerns surrounding energy markets and geopolitical risks may continue influencing sentiment in the near term, especially for oil-related companies listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange. KSE-100 Index Still Shows Strong Fiscal-Year Performance FY gain (points) +44,852 FY gain (%) +35.70% Calendar-year change −3,575 (−2.05%) Is the KSE-100 Index Decline Temporary? The latest KSE-100 Index Decline appears largely driven by profit-taking rather than a fundamental deterioration in market conditions. Investors continue to show interest in selective sectors, while trading volumes remain healthy. The market’s next direction will likely depend on earnings expectations, interest rate outlook, foreign investor activity, and geopolitical developments affecting global energy markets. For now, investors remain cautious, but the strong fiscal-year performance suggests the broader bullish trend remains intact despite short-term volatility.

He stressed that comprehensive strategies supported by international cooperation are essential to address these challenges effectively. Pakistan Among the Most Climate-Vulnerable Countries PM pointed out that Pakistan remains one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change despite contributing only a minimal share to global environmental degradation. He said environmental challenges continue to impose significant human and economic costs on the country. Therefore, cooperation at individual, national, and international levels is critical to mitigating the effects of climate change and environmental degradation. Government Pursuing Green Development Policies PM Shehbaz Sharif reaffirmed the government’s commitment to promoting renewable energy and sustainable development initiatives. He said Pakistan is actively working to restore forests, conserve biodiversity, improve water resource management, reduce pollution, promote climate-smart agriculture, and encourage the growth of green industries. The government is also implementing policies aimed at restoring natural ecosystems and strengthening environmental sustainability across the country. Youth Have a Key Role in Building a Greener Pakistan The PM highlighted the importance of Pakistan’s youth in tackling environmental challenges and building a more sustainable future. He said the energy, creativity, and innovation of young people will play a crucial role in creating a greener, safer, and climate-resilient Pakistan. By providing access to education, technology, and opportunities, the country can strengthen environmental awareness and foster long-term sustainable development, he added. Call for National Responsibility Sharif urged citizens, institutions, farmers, businesses, and agricultural stakeholders to treat environmental protection and climate resilience as a national responsibility. He called on the public to adopt environmentally responsible lifestyles and prioritize the conservation of water and energy resources, afforestation efforts, and wildlife protection. He expressed hope that today’s efforts would help secure a sustainable future and a better quality of life for generations to come.

Unsafe Food Causes 866 Million Illnesses Annually, WHO Warns

/

Children under the age of five face nearly three times the risk of illness from unsafe food compared to older children and adults, according to new estimates released by the World Health Organization. Although children under five make up only 9% of the world’s population, they account for almost one-third of all foodborne disease cases. Diarrhoeal diseases remain among the biggest threats and can be fatal for young children. The WHO also warned that exposure to harmful chemicals such as methylmercury and lead through food can damage developing brains and cause lifelong neurological and developmental problems. Unsafe Food Linked to 866 Million Illnesses and 1.5 Million Deaths According to the new estimates, unsafe food causes around 866 million illnesses and 1.5 million deaths worldwide every year. The health agency said many of these illnesses and deaths could be prevented through improved water quality, better sanitation and hygiene, safer food handling practices, food pasteurization, and better access to healthcare. While the global burden of foodborne diseases has declined since 2000, major regional disparities continue to exist. The highest burden remains concentrated in Africa and Southeast Asia. Chemical Contamination Responsible for Most Deaths Biological hazards such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites caused most foodborne illnesses in 2021, accounting for approximately 860 million cases. However, chemical contamination caused a disproportionate number of deaths. WHO estimates show that chemical hazards were responsible for 73% of all deaths linked to contaminated food. Among these chemical hazards, inorganic arsenic accounted for 42% of deaths, while lead contributed 31%. These substances significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases and cancer. WHO also highlighted the dangers of methylmercury exposure, which can severely affect brain development in children. Economic Losses Reach Hundreds of Billions of Dollars The report found that foodborne diseases caused an estimated $310 billion in lost productivity in 2021 due to illness-related absences from work. When adjusted for purchasing power and cost-of-living differences across countries, the economic impact increased to approximately $647 billion. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the new findings reveal the enormous human and economic costs of unsafe food and provide countries with critical data to identify areas of greatest concern. WHO Expands Global Food Safety Assessment The latest WHO analysis examined 42 major foodborne hazards across 194 countries between 2000 and 2021. The study included bacteria, viruses, parasites, and chemical contaminants. New hazards assessed in the report include rotavirus, metals, and the parasite Chagas disease. The organization stressed that contaminants such as lead, arsenic, and methylmercury often enter the food chain through environmental pollution and industrial activities. Once contamination occurs, removing these substances from food becomes difficult. WHO urged governments to strengthen environmental regulations, improve agricultural practices, and enforce stricter industrial controls to prevent contamination at its source. Africa and Southeast Asia Bear the Greatest Burden The report highlighted significant inequalities in food safety outcomes worldwide. WHO estimates show that Africa and Southeast Asia account for nearly three-quarters of all foodborne illnesses and 60% of global deaths linked to contaminated food. People living in low-resource communities, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, continue to face the greatest risks. Climate Change and Antimicrobial Resistance Add New Challenges WHO experts warned that climate change is increasing food contamination risks while antimicrobial resistance is making infections harder to treat. The organization called for a “One Health” approach that integrates human, animal, plant, and environmental health systems to address food safety challenges more effectively. The findings were released ahead of World Food Safety Day on June 7. This year’s theme is “From burden to solutions – safe food everywhere.”

The move restores an important air link between Pakistan and China and strengthens travel connectivity between the two countries. PIA said the route will serve growing demand from students, business travelers, tourists, and families. The airline expects the direct service to provide a faster and more convenient travel option compared to connecting flights. Students and Business Travelers to Benefit The restored route is likely to benefit thousands of Pakistani and Chinese students studying in each other’s countries.

NEPRA Cuts Power Rates by 80 Paisa in June, Rs1.99 Per Unit in July–August

NEPRA Cuts Power Rates by 80 Paisa in June, Rs1.99 Per Unit in July–August

/

Here is your original text with H4 headings applied, nothing else changed: NEPRA has notified a net reduction in national electricity rates across three months. Consumers will pay 80 paisa less per unit in June. The reduction rises to Rs1.99 per unit in July and August. The total financial relief amounts to approximately Rs56 billion. Two Simultaneous Adjustments Drive the Cut Two tariff decisions combine to produce this relief. The first is a monthly fuel cost adjustment (FCA) for April 2026. The second is a quarterly tariff adjustment (QTA) covering January–March 2026. NEPRA applied both at the same time. Fuel Costs Rise by Rs1.19 Per Unit in June NEPRA approved a Rs1.19 per unit increase in fuel costs. Distribution companies (Discos) will recover this amount in June billing. This adds Rs11 billion to Disco revenues. Discos had originally demanded Rs1.74 per unit to recover Rs16 billion. NEPRA scaled the amount down significantly. The FCA applies to all consumer categories of KE and XWDISCOs. It excludes lifeline consumers, Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS), and prepaid consumers. Quarterly Adjustment Delivers Rs1.99 Per Unit Cut NEPRA separately approved a Rs1.99 per unit reduction under QTA. This applies across June, July, and August. The total financial impact reaches Rs67 billion over those three months. Discos had proposed a Rs64 billion refund at a rate of Rs1.75 per unit. NEPRA approved a higher relief amount. The QTA applies to all consumer categories except lifeline consumers, incremental consumption package users, and prepaid consumers. Net Impact: 80 Paisa Down in June, Rs1.99 in July–August In June, the Rs1.99 QTA reduction offsets the Rs1.19 FCA increase. Consumers effectively save 80 paisa per unit this month. In July and August, only the Rs1.99 QTA reduction applies. No FCA runs alongside it. Consumers benefit from the full cut both months. The combined net relief stands at Rs56 billion — Rs67 billion in QTA savings minus Rs11 billion in fuel cost recovery.

Govt Approves Faceless Digital Tax System to Curb Evasion and Reduce Corruption

Govt Approves Faceless Digital Tax System to Curb Evasion and Reduce Corruption

/

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has approved in principle a new centralized digital tax operating model aimed at reducing corruption, improving tax enforcement, and minimizing direct interaction between taxpayers and tax officials. The reform, known as Pakistan’s New Tax Operating Model, will be implemented in three phases beginning in October. The system draws inspiration from digital tax frameworks already operating in countries such as United Kingdom, Australia, Netherlands, Singapore and India. Officials say the new model will create a “faceless” tax administration where audits, assessments, and taxpayer interactions will take place through digital platforms rather than physical meetings. Tax Data Reveals Massive Under-Reporting The reform follows findings by Pakistan Revenue Automation Limited, which identified widespread under-reporting and significant leakages in the tax system. According to official data, 8,697 individuals holding a combined Rs750 billion in bank deposits reported zero income in their tax returns. Authorities also found that nearly 98.9 percent of individuals with high bank deposits had materially under-reported their financial transactions. The real estate sector showed similar trends. Around 80 percent of major property buyers who maintained active filer status were found to have systematically under-declared property transaction values to reduce their tax liabilities. Three Separate Wings to Replace Existing Structure Currently, a single tax officer often handles the entire tax process, including identification, notices, assessments, and recoveries. Officials believe this concentration of authority creates opportunities for taxpayer harassment, under-assessment, and compromised recoveries. Under the new model, Inland Revenue operations will be divided into three independent wings with clearly defined responsibilities. National Faceless Audit Wing The National Faceless Audit Wing (NFAW) will operate from Islamabad through a fully digital and anonymous system. This wing will conduct risk-based audits, monitor withholding and advance taxes, and use a Central Data Hub to analyze taxpayer information. Cases will be assigned through algorithms rather than manual selection. Officials said taxpayers will not be allowed to visit the NFAW or submit documents physically. The wing will also have no authority to issue tax demands or recover revenue. National Assessment Wing The National Assessment Wing (NAW) will handle assessment orders, show-cause notices, refund approvals, and exemption matters. The wing will function digitally and anonymously. Hearings will be conducted online, although dedicated hearing rooms will be available at tax offices nationwide. The NAW will not conduct audits or field enforcement activities. Field Operation Wing The third component, the Field Operation Wing, will focus on enforcement. Its responsibilities will include revenue recovery, taxpayer registration, prosecution, field verification, and tax-base expansion. However, it will not have powers to assess taxes or alter tax demands. Easier Filing and Greater Transparency The government plans to appoint around 200 officers to the audit and assessment wings through a merit-based process. These officers will receive market-based salaries and operate under enhanced monitoring systems. Officials believe the reforms will make tax compliance easier for honest taxpayers while tightening enforcement against tax evaders. The new system will provide pre-populated tax returns using data from salaries, bank accounts, property records, and vehicle ownership. Authorities expect this feature to reduce tax filing time from hours to just minutes. In addition, taxpayers will receive a single integrated account that combines income tax, sales tax, and federal excise obligations within one digital platform. The system will also introduce time-bound processing and automated escalation mechanisms to improve transparency and predictability. The government expects the faceless tax model to reduce discretionary powers, eliminate direct contact between taxpayers and officials, and strengthen confidence in Pakistan’s tax administration system.

130 Million Pakistani Women Cannot Be Excluded from Economic Decision-Making: FPCCI

130 Million Pakistani Women Cannot Be Excluded from Economic Decision-Making: FPCCI

/

Lahore: President of the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI), Atif Ikram Sheikh, and Vice President, Qurrat-ul-Ain, while addressing a press conference at the launch of the Pakistan Women Economic Charter 2035, emphasized that Pakistan’s nearly 130 million women constitute 52 percent of the country’s population and represent one of its most valuable sources of human capital. They asserted that such a significant segment of the population cannot be excluded from the national economic decision-making process. They stated that women in Pakistan are not a minority group; rather, they are the nation’s largest economic force and an indispensable pillar of its human resource base. However, despite their critical contribution to the economy, meaningful consultation with women business leaders, women chambers of commerce, women industrialists, exporters, and representative organizations of businesswomen was largely absent during the formulation of the national budget. “We are not seeking special privileges or concessions; we are demanding rightful representation,” they remarked. Speaking on the occasion, Qurrat-ul-Ain highlighted the absence of an effective institutional mechanism to systematically incorporate women’s economic priorities into the budget-making process and broader economic policymaking framework. She urged the Prime Minister of Pakistan and the Federal Minister for Finance to ensure the formal inclusion of women’s representative leadership in all future budget consultations, economic policy formulation, development planning, and economic reform initiatives. Qurat-ul-Ain stressed that the principle of “No decision about women without the participation of women” must be adopted as a cornerstone of national policy. She maintained that economic decisions affecting women cannot be made effectively or equitably without their direct involvement and representation. She further stated that the Pakistan Women Economic Charter 2035 is not merely a policy document but a comprehensive roadmap for Pakistan’s economic growth, competitiveness, export expansion, investment promotion, and long-term prosperity. The FPCCI Vice President also proposed the establishment of a National Women Economic Council under the patronage of the Prime Minister of Pakistan. The proposed council would comprise representatives from the Ministry of Finance, Planning Commission, State Bank of Pakistan, FPCCI, Women Chambers, the private sector, and other relevant stakeholders. Its primary objective would be to institutionalize women’s participation and ensure that their voices are consistently reflected in national economic policymaking and decision-making processes. The FPCCI leadership reaffirmed its commitment to advancing women’s economic empowerment and promoting inclusive growth by ensuring that women play a central role in shaping Pakistan’s economic future.
