THEY fail when they exclude people from effectively participating in the political process — that is, when a powerful minority takes over the government and creates a system, including laws, for its own benefit and not for the people at large. The extension of this political exclusion is economic exclusion — in other words, when the powerful and rich minority create extractive economic institutions, whereby they shield and perpetuate their own economic interests by extracting wealth from the national resources and from the people at large. This is the central argument of an influential book Why Nations Fail: the Origins of Power, Prosperity and Poverty by Turkish-American economist Daron Acemoglu and British-American economist and political scientist James Robinson.

PoliticalUpdate🇦🇫Afghanistan 🇦🇺Australia 🇨🇦Canada+39d ago

WHILE the budget session in the federal and provincial assemblies is in progress, some members of the two Houses of parliament have again raised the need for an independent office within parliament to provide an unbiased analysis of the annual budget to the legislators. The argument is that if members of parliament have to debate various aspects of the budget as informed legislators and exercise oversight on the executive’s produced budget, they need support from an entity which is outside the control of the executive so that the numbers produced by the Ministry of Finance for the budget and by the Ministry of Planning and Development for the Public Sector Development Programme can be scrutinised and independently verified before the parliamentarians provide their feedback and input during the budget debate. In fact, a member of the National Assembly had introduced a private member’s bill titled the ‘Parliamentary Budget Office Bill, 2025’, in the Assembly last year.

KARACHI: The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) outperformed most major global markets in the first nine months of the outgoing fiscal year, with the KSE-100 index rising by 18.4 per cent. However, geopolitical tensions and foreign selling eroded some of these gains in the final quarter, according to the Economic Survey 2025-26, released on Thursday. The index climbed from 125,627 points at the close of FY25 to 148,743 points by the end of March, having touched an all-time high of 189,167 points on Jan 23 — a level from which it shed more than 40,000 points over the following two months.

ZURICH, June 24 (Reuters) - Switzerland has started contract negotiations with manufacturers from France, Israel and South Korea for a second air defence system following delays to its order of U.S. Patriot missile systems, the government said on Wednesday. Switzerland in 2022 ordered Patriot missile defence systems made by Raytheon and Lockheed Martin for expected delivery by 2026-2028, but the timeline was pushed back four to five years due to the war in Ukraine.

EconomicUpdate🇰🇷South Korea 🇮🇳India7d ago

Indian stock markets experienced a significant downturn on Tuesday, with the Sensex and Nifty shedding substantial investor wealth. This decline was fueled by a sharp sell-off in South Korea's Kospi index, renewed fears of US Federal Reserve rate hikes due to rising oil prices, and a resumption of selling pressure in IT stocks. The weakening Indian rupee also contributed to the negative sentiment, prompting profit-taking among investors.

Guadalajara, JunE 18: Mexican military forces intercepted and brought down a drone that flew near the South Korean national soccer team's training camp ahead of its World Cup match against Mexico, a federal official told The Associated Press on Wednesday. Military forces used specialised equipment to detect an “unregistered drone” near the South Korean camp, prompting them to “neutralise” it, the Mexican federal agent said. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the incident publicly.

South Korea’s AI-driven semiconductor boom has sent exports, corporate profits and stock prices to record highs, but a senior policymaker has warned that the windfall could fuel property speculation and deepen inequality if its gains remain narrowly concentrated. “Looking solely at the numbers, it is something to cheer about. However, strangely, a corner of my heart feels heavy,” Kim Yong-beom, chief of the Presidential Policy Office and one of South Korea’s most senior economic policymakers,...

California, June 18: Apple may be forced to raise prices across parts of its product lineup as escalating costs for memory and storage chips continue to pressure the technology giant's supply chain, Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal . Describing the situation as "unsustainable," Cook said Apple has taken extensive measures to shield consumers from rising component costs but indicated that maintaining current pricing levels could become increasingly difficult. "We've done everything we can to absorb these increases and protect customers," Cook was quoted as saying.

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has ruled out expanding military ties with Japan any time soon, insisting that historical grievances must be resolved first. The two countries have come under growing pressure to strengthen defence ties as North Korea, China and Russia draw closer together. But analysts say such a move remains politically risky for Lee’s government given deep-seated public resentment in South Korea towards Japan.

Concerns linger over leveraged ETFs, with market watchers focusing on major tech firms' AI capital expenditure. While India shows near-term strength due to easing geopolitical tensions and oil prices, job creation remains a medium-term focus.
