Pakistan repaid the $3.45 billion deposit to the United Arab Emirates, the State Bank of Pakistan confirmed on Friday. The central bank said the $1bn deposit was repaid to the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development on April 23 and $2.45bn was repaid to the UAE “last week”. “This completes the repayment of total deposits of $3.45 billion to UAE,” said the SBP in a post on X. A senior official said earlier this month that Pakis­tan had decided to return $3.5 billion in debt to the UAE before the end of this month. The official described the move as a cost the country was willing to bear to uphold “national dignity”, even as it is set to significantly draw down foreign exch­ange reserves.

In March, Islamabad failed to secure an agreement with the UAE to roll over the $3.5bn facility, marking the first such failure in seven years and raising concerns about near-term financing gaps. In a separa...

LAHORE: A woman, accused of killing her three children a day earlier, was handed over to police custody on a five-day physical remand on Friday. On Thursday, the police claimed that three children who were found murdered at their house near Lahore’s Shah Jamal Colony were killed by their mother over estrangement with her husband. The investigating officer presented the accused before Judicial Magistrate Irshad Hussain on Friday and sought a 14-day physical remand so that evidence of the murder could be recovered. The IO further stated that the accused’s DNA, polygraph and other medical tests had to be conducted as well. However, the judicial magistrate granted a five-day physical remand. According to initial reports on Thursday, the children had their throats slit in a room at a multi-storey residential building near Shah Jamal in Lahore. Later in the day, Deputy Inspector General (Operations) Faisal Kamran said that the children were allegedly slain by their mother over a domestic dispute with her husband. T...

The warming El Nino weather phenomenon, which pushed global temperatures to record highs the last time around, is expected back in the middle of this year, the UN said Friday. The United Nations’ weather and climate agency said El Nino conditions were likely as early as the May to July three-month window. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) meanwhile said early signs indicated a strong event. El Nino is a naturally-occurring climate phenomenon that warms surface temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean. It brings changes in winds, pressure and rainfall patterns. Conditions oscillate between El Nino and its opposite La Nina, with neutral conditions in between. The last El Nino contributed to making 2023 the second-hottest year on record and 2024 the all-time high. “After a period of neutral conditions at the start of the year… there is high confidence in the onset of El Nino, followed by further intensification,” said Wilfran Moufouma Okia, the WMO’s climate prediction chief. “M...
