The 21st century has proven to be as economically tumultuous as the two preceding centuries. Between a pandemic, wars, technological developments, progress in civil rights, and breakthroughs in science and medicine, the old order has been swept away, sometimes giving way to freer forms of governing and sometimes not. This period has seen multiple financial crises striking nations, regions, and—in the case of the Great Recession—the entire global economy. All financial crises share certain characteristics, but each tells its own unique story with its own unique lessons for the future. Due to these lessons we were able to experience a smoothened run of economy during the covid-19 syndemic that halted the logistics industry at once and created bottle-necks, hurdles and even complete shut-downs in other sectors while creating a need of overtime for front-line workers who are fighting against the virus on the forefront.
Cpec will galvanize industrailization and employment in pakistanAyesha Majid

connectivity. Through CPEC China aims to connect its eastern side through
Kashgar to the warm waters of Arabian Sea through Pakistan as it will be
shorter and safer for china to transport goods via this route than through the
china sea to the Arabian Peninsula and surrounding areas. CPEC will not only
benefit China and Pakistan but will have positive impact on Iran, Afghanistan,
India, Central Asian Republics, and the region. Through the enhancement of
geographical linkages having improved road, rail and air transportation system

Pakistan has made considerable developments in Microfinance though a late starter in this
industry. The sector formally started to develop from 1999 although; semiformal sectors since the 1980s
are providing micro-credit in Pakistan. Including Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) and Rural
Support Programs (RSPs). Subsidies have played an important role in the growth and promotion of the
microfinance sector’s growth phase. Now the sector is in its maturity phase. MFBs funding structure

Apple INC.: Managing a Global Supply ChainAyesha Majid
As part of her analysis of Apple’s stock, she wanted to look at the company’s supply chain to see if she could gain some insight into the pros and cons of Apple as a key holding in BXE’s fund. When. Apple Computer was founded on April 1, 1976, by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Mike Markkula to manufacture and distribute desktop computers.
While claiming to learn from the Chinese way of handling the crisis, there is no on-ground action in Pakistan that supports the claim.

Pakistan is an important maritime state in the Indian Ocean blessed with approximately 1,050 km long coastline and the Exclusive Economic Zone covering about 240,000 sq. The vast coastline of Pakistan naturally offers the option of deep sea water ports which means a much bigger volume of ship could be stationed along the coastline.
Factors Affecting Consumer Purchase Intention When Buying Toyota Corolla in P...Ayesha Majid
The economy of Pakistan and the consistent increase in dollar rates has taken a huge toll on the sales of the multinational manufacturer. Focus group analysis show that majority of the people preferred Honda over Toyota due to several reasons including near to none change in the designs of Toyota Corolla’s variants. Another factor was that Toyota was seen more as a car for the rural areas which was best suited for a rugged terrain. Although the general perception is that Toyota has better car suspension and fuel efficiency, people would still prefer Honda and other Japanese cars. Respondents said that advertisements played a crucial role but they do not compel the customer to buy a product like a car, there are other factors that are taken under consideration. Pakwheels and olx were the first two online platforms that they mentioned when asked about their go to online source. Family and friends advice played a major role in deciding which car to buy. According to the research conducted by our group through questionnaire, a regression was done and seen that the general perception that a reduction in prices will increase sales was not true because people usually associate low prices with low quality products. According to the regression, only advertisement and product have a significant result. All the variables are positively correlated with each other and less than one and positive indicating a formative relationship to the dependent variable. Branding has an insignificant positive relationship with purchase intention because consumers are only considering three competitors; Honda, Suzuki and Japanese cars.

The British Rule's lasting sway on lives of PakistanisAyesha Majid
The British rule still has a sway on us and we still unconsciously see them as our masters/ or a better race than us in terms of looks, language, traditions clothing style and hobbies. Though the Britishers only enforced their norms through law and schooling but its impact was long-lasting and deep-rooted amongst the young natives.the current architectural format of Pakistani buildings is inspired from British architecture as opposed to local designs and aesthetics specially regarding room aeration and lightening. Many of the botanical flowers and ferns that we see in Pakistan were introduced by Britishers which were than made part of the gardening aesthetics by the then influential Pakistanis to show-off their civilised family background.
