Uncertain times: Will the euro survive – for unity or competitiveness? Syed H Akhter On the surface, Pakistan seems far too distant from what is playing out in the European capitals. The latest financial crisis, engulfing the whole of Europe and resulting from sovereign debts amassed by Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain, is spiralling into a perilous phase and the outcome will impact not only the developed countries, but also the less developed economies such as Pakistan. Unemployment: When will growing joblessness be curtailed? Zeeshan Shah One of the economic problems that Pakistan shares with the world – although in a slightly more exacerbated form – is unemployment.

One place in Karachi that is still boasting this footwear is the city's once popular shopping joint Uzma Display Centre, a treat for khussa lovers. Jafferjees: It's all about the experience Hani Taha Hardly any brands in Pakistan can boast of a lineage and heritage as the centuries old leather brand Jafferjees. For decades, the store stood quietly as a hallmark of quality leather goods and even today in an age of hyper consumerism and mad advertising, it is retaining its old school glamour by maintaining a healthy distance from all the fashion and luxury brouhaha. _______________________________________________ |
