According to experts, air conditioners, which are widely used to cool rooms and provide relief from the heat, have a paradoxical effect on the environment.

While they may bring down temperatures inside, they simultaneously contribute to global warming by releasing heat into the atmosphere, thereby increasing ambient temperatures.

This unintended consequence highlights the need for sustainable and eco-friendly cooling solutions to mitigate the environmental impact of air conditioning.

Chief of Army Staff General Syed Asim Munir has been recognized as one of the top 500 most influential Muslims globally, as announced by the Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Centre in their publication, 'The Muslim 500' magazine.

This prestigious list features prominent individuals, including Pakistan's top general, politicians, and influential figures. According to the forum, General Syed Asim Munir is described as a distinguished army general and the current Chief of Army Staff, hailing from a religious and scholarly family. Notably, he is the first army chief in Pakistan's history to be a Hafiz Quran, having memorized the entire Quran.

General Munir has served as the chief of both premier military intelligence agencies in Pakistan, although his tenure at ISI was brief due to a disagreement with the then-Prime Minister.

As the current Chief of Army Staff, he navigates challenging times, addressing unprecedented national criticism of the army's influence on Pakistan's democracy amidst political and economic turbulence. General Asim Munir assumed command of the 0.6 million-strong army in November 2022, succeeding General Qamar Javed Bajwa, who retired after a six-year tenure.

The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) experienced a significant surge, crossing the 81,000-point threshold, fueled by investor optimism following the staff-level agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

The KSE-100 Index recorded a substantial single-day gain of 1,248.82 points, representing a 1.56% increase. The positive sentiment was further boosted by the absence of new capital market taxes in the recent budget.

Notably, the PSX achieved an all-time high, building on the momentum from the previous $3-billion loan under the Stand-By Arrangement (SBA), despite the prevailing economic challenges.

Pakistan has obtained a $7 billion financial assistance package from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), aimed at bolstering the country's economic stability over the next three years.

The program focuses on achieving macroeconomic stability, curbing inflation, and enhancing tax revenues.

While the agreement is pending approval from the IMF's executive board, it comes with stringent conditions, including increasing tax revenues and reducing the fiscal deficit. Notably, Pakistan's foreign debt remains a significant concern, standing at $242 billion, with debt servicing expected to consume half of the government's revenue in 2024.

According to IMF projections, Pakistan's economy is expected to grow by 2% this year, with inflation reaching a peak of 25% before gradually decreasing in 2025 and 2026.
