The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on Wednesday launched a new framework for teenagers’ accounts, enabling them to independently own and operate bank accounts and digital wallets. According to a statement issued by the SBP, the move will build a financially savvy young generation. “By providing a convenient entry into the formal financial system at an early age, the SBP aims to foster meaningful participation of teenagers in the economy,” the statement said. It added that the initiative addressed a critical gap in the country’s financial landscape. “While overall account ownership of the adult population has risen to 67 per cent, teenagers have largely been confined to joint or parent-controlled accounts, limiting their practical financial engagement and learning,” the SBP said. The central bank said that with around 26 million citizens between the ages of 13 and 18, the framework was an effort for “nurturing a generation that is financially literate, digitally adept, and capable of driving future growth”.

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump is set to address his nation at 9pm EST on Wednesday (6:00am on Thursday in Pakistan) to provide what the White House has described as “an important update on Iran,” fuelling speculation that he may declare an end to the five-week conflict — with or without a negotiated settlement. US media outlets, reporting the announcement, noted that Trump has brushed aside the need for a formal agreement to end hostilities. Speaking to reporters at the White House on Tuesday, he said US forces would likely leave Iran in “two or three weeks.” “We leave because there’s no reason for us to do this,” Trump said. “We’ll be leaving very soon.” In remarks that appeared to redefine the war’s objectives, he suggested that a negotiated settlement was no longer essential. “Iran doesn’t have to make a deal.
