ISLAMABAD: The federal government has allocated Rs5,290.49 million to train 120,000 youth in IT and digital skills under the Prime Minister’s Youth Skills Development Programme. Finance Minister Muhammad Aura­n­g­zeb, in his budget speech, highlighted the importance of the country’s youth population, describing it as Pakistan’s biggest asset. He said 67 per cent of the country’s population is below the age of 30. “Our youth possess a strong spirit for acquiring skills and utilising them for the development of the country,” he said, adding that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has resolved that every Pakistani youth should have access to modern skills and training in various trades, enabling them to actively contribute to the country’s progress and development.

However, the Public Sector Develop­ment Programme (PSDP) contains a list of long-overdue mega-projects, which provinces had been insisting should be financed by the Centre. The second phase of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC-II) is perhaps the only new initiative listed, for which Rs1 billion was allocated. The outlay comprises the PSDP at Rs1 trillion, the Provincial Annual Development Programmes (ADPs) at Rs2.224 trillion, and reported development spending by state-owned enterprises (SOEs) at Rs451 billion. In his budget speech, Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb said that more than 60pc of the Centre’s priorities were f...

A positive bid-ask readings and a bullish RSI divergence support Bitcoin's recovery, with $70,000 emerging as a key target. Bitcoin (BTC) is gaining buyers’ interest after setting a new yearly low at $59,000 last week.

The price printed a lower low during the early-June sell-off while the relative strength index (RSI) formed a higher low. The signal pointed to fading downside momentum before buyers stepped in.
