Pakistan finance minister: conflict with India won't have large fiscal impact

KARACHI/ISLAMABAD (Reuters) -The recent military escalation with arch-rival India won't have a large fiscal impact on Pakistan and can be managed within the current fiscal space, with no need for a new economic assessment, Pakistan's Finance Minister said in an interview with Reuters on Monday. Trade talks with the United States - which had played a key role mediating a ceasefire between the two countries - would likely have progress in "short order" and that Pakistan could import more high-quality cotton, more soy beans and was also exploring other asset classes, including hydrocarbons, Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb said in the online interview. On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump said the U.S. is ready to help India and Pakistan after a ceasefire agreement, claiming trade was a big reason they "stopped fighting".

Retention Is The Key To Growth For Services Businesses

Customer success is a business discipline.
The article from Forbes Technology Council, published on May 12, 2025, titled "Retention Is The New Revenue: The Key To Growth For Services Businesses," emphasizes the critical role of customer retention in driving growth for service-based companies.
