Earlier today, in our forensic analysis of the SpaceX IPO, we said that according to BNP estimates, the company's inclusion into the S&P 500 some 6 months after the offering would unlock $13.4 billion worth of inflows. It turns out that that is not going to happen 6 months after the IPO. In fact, the earliest it may happen is 12 months after Friday's break for trading... and realistically well after that. That's because after the close today, S&P Dow Jones Indices said it would keep its existing eligibility requirements for main benchmarks…

ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Friday reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to the “Shanghai spirit” and called for a joint strategy among SCO member states to counter terrorism, organised crime, drug trafficking, cybercrime and terror financing. Naqvi said this at a special meeting of the Ministers of Interior and Public Security of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. He said the region faced “serious and complex security challenges” that were interconnected, noting that criminal and terrorist networks were rapidly adapting to technological advancements, exploiting artificial intelligence, digital platforms, online networks and cryptocurrency transactions to expand their activities. The interior minister emphasised the importance of modernising institutional coordination and enhancing intelligence-sharing mechanisms across the region to tackle these threats. Shared threats demanded shared solutions, Naqvi told the delegates, further calling for a comprehensive regional strategy to tackle transnational crime and emerging security risks. Highlighting Pakistan’s commitment to the principles of the SCO, he said: “Pakistan fully adheres to the principles of the Shanghai Spirit, which is based on mutual trust, equality, cooperation, and respect for sovereignty.” Naqvi further stated that Pakistan had rendered “unparalleled sacrifices” against terrorism and continued to strengthen its security architecture to address evolving threats. Under the National Action Plan, he said, Pakistan had strengthened intelligence coordination, border management and anti-money laundering measures. “These initiatives have significantly strengthened the country’s capacity to combat terrorism and organised crime.” He called for more effective cooperation under SCO’s Regional Anti-Terrorist Structure (RATS) for intelligence sharing, joint threat analysis and countering online radicalisation and extremist propaganda. Pakistan, he said, fully supported workshops and expert exchange programmes building collective capabilities. Turning his attention to cybersecurity, he said cyber intelligence and digital forensics cooperation were “the need of the hour” and noted that technological advances had created new opportunities for criminal organisations and terrorist groups. On the issue of narcotics trafficking, he warned that the illegal drug trade remained a major source of terror financing. He called for a coordinated joint strategy against drug trafficking networks, online criminal operations and illicit financial flows facilitated through digital currencies. Pakistan’s Anti-Narcotics Force, he said, remained actively engaged in SCO-led counter-narcotics initiatives and stood ready to deepen cooperation with partner countries. He said border security was key to regional peace and stability and stressed greater cooperation on preventing the use of forged documents for travelling, watch-list coordination and human smuggling. He also said that stopping terror financing was among Pakistan’s key priorities, adding that the country had reformed its anti-money laundering (AML) regime and that the country’s enhanced financial monitoring framework was playing “an active role” in detecting and preventing illicit financial activities. Moreover, strong regional cooperation was indispensable for dismantling terror financing networks, he said, emphasising that no country could effectively confront transnational threats in isolation. “Our challenges are common, so our efforts must also be collective and coordinated,” Naqvi said. “The common goal of our joint efforts is a peaceful and secure SCO region.” Concluding his address, Naqvi said that Pakistan looked forward to welcoming participants at the SCO summit to be held in Islamabad in 2027. A day earlier, Naqvi met his Iranian counterpart, Eskandar Momeni, on sidelines of the SCO moot and the two discussed bilateral relations and the current regional situation. Both ministers also exchanged views on Pakistan-Iran relations and the latest regional situation.

LAHORE: A day after the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) registered a case against PML-N MPA Saqib Chadhar for allegedly harassing television actor Momina Iqbal, the lawmaker secured interim pre-arrest bail from a Lahore court on Friday. Additional District and Sessions Judge Irfan Ahmad Sheikh approved the bail after hearing Chadhar’s plea. During the hearing, Chadhar appeared before the court along with his counsel, Mian Ali Ashfaq. The judge barred the NCCIA from arresting Chadhar till June 24 and directed the NCCIA to submit the case record at the next hearing. On Thursday, the NCCIA registered a case against Chadhar on Iqbal’s complaint under Sections 3 (unauthorised access to information system or data), 4 (unauthorised copying or transmission of data), 21 (offences against modesty of a natural person and minor) and 24 (cyber stalking) of the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act, read with Sections 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation), 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence, or giving false information to screen offender), 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) and 109 (punishment for abetment if the act abetted is committed in consequence and where no express provision is made for its punishment) of the Pakistan Penal Code. According to the first information report (FIR), a copy of which is available with Dawn, Iqbal alleged in her complaint that Chadhar, his wife and their “known and unknown associates have waged a sustained campaign of cyber harassment, stalking, criminal intimidation, blackmailing, defamation, unlawful surveillance, and threats against her and her family”. She also alleged that after rejecting Chadhar’s marriage proposal upon discovering his existing marriage, he “retaliated with repeated threats, attempts to access her private data, sending violent content, and blackmailing via her private videos”. “The accused (Chadhar) allegedly defamed her socially and professionally, sabotaged her 2023 marriage proposal through false information, and recently intensified threats to leak private material, harm her and her fiance, and disrupt her upcoming marriage, causing severe emotional, reputational and professional harm,” the FIR stated. According to the FIR, the preliminary technical and forensic analysis of Iqbal’s and Chadhar’s mobile phones and other devices was carried out, which provided evidence on the basis of which a case was registered against the PML-N MPA. Case origins The matter garnered attention after Iqbal’s social media appeal went viral and drew the attention of senior PML-N leadership, especially Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz. In her online post, tagged to the PML-N leadership, Iqbal alleged that she had been subjected to “online harassment, cyberbullying, and death threats for a long time”. She claimed that both she and her family had suffered severe mental stress and trauma because of the alleged conduct of the MPA, whose identity she did not disclose publicly at the time. “A member of the provincial assembly belonging to the PML-N has been threatening me for an extended period. I repeatedly reported the matter to the NCCIA and the Federal Investigation Agency, but no action was taken,” she stated. Instead of ensuring justice, attempts were allegedly made to suppress the complaints, Iqbal claimed. “Even individuals associated with the office of the chief minister tried to discourage me and silence the issue rather than allowing a fair investigation.” Subsequently, the PML-N’s “top leadership directed the NCCIA to immediately entertain the actor’s complaint and initiate action against the ruling party MPA if the allegations are proven”, a source had told Dawn. The source added that the CM’s Office also wanted to clear its name following Iqbal’s allegations against it. Following these developments, the NCCIA summoned Iqbal and Chadhar on May 21. The agency’s Punjab head Muhammad Ali Waseem said the two were summoned after the NCCIA received Iqbal’s complaint. A day after they recorded their statements, Iqbal filed an application with Lahore’s Chung Police for the registration of a first information report against Chadhar. In her application, she alleged that the PML-N MPA had been making threatening calls to harass her and her fiance. She claimed that the lawmaker turned abusive when she refused his marriage proposal, after it transpired that he was already married to two women. Subsequently, Chadhar began blackmailing her, she alleged, also mentioning WhatsApp messages and video calls from the suspect in her application. She further alleged that the MPA also sent the same threatening messages to her sister’s mobile phone. Meanwhile, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz also warned in a post on X that any attempt to exert political pressure, abuse influence, or exploit a woman by threatening to release “personal content” in the case involving Iqbal and Chadhar would be met with “firm and uncompromising action.” In a related development, the Lahore High Court granted interim protective bail to Iqbal’s husband, Hamza Habib, on May 25 in a case of allegedly threatening Chadhar.

• From penalising green technology to sidelining adaptation, the government’s spending choices seem to contradict its own climate commitments • Without new budget pillars, proper risk screening, end to ‘green taxes’, country’s fiscal plans will only deepen climate vulnerability FOR a country whose economic survival is tied to shoring up its climate-resilience, the government’s budgetary allocations have failed to reflect this pressing concern. Besides measures that discourage the adoption of solar energy and electric vehicles, the government continues to invest in mega-hydro projects despite adverse ecological impacts; proposes ‘false solutions’ such as carbon capture instead of reducing reliance on fossil fuels; and leaves the adaptation agenda by the wayside despite recurring floods. The upcoming budget, according to officials from the climate change ministry, features at least eight proposed projects focused on climate resilience, afforestation, green growth, biodiversity conservation, and environmental monitoring under the Public Sector Development Programme — with a total allocation of Rs2.78 billion. However, experts have repeatedly criticised the government’s seemingly “anti-climate policies”, particularly attempts to tax renewable energy, which they believe will undermine the climate-smart policy direction spurred by recent IMF and World Bank programs. The IMF’s Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF) requires Pakistan to revise its public investment framework so that at least 30 per cent of the project appraisal weighting for infrastructure projects reflects climate change adaptation and mitigation criteria. In the outgoing fiscal year, at least Rs86bn worth of PSDP projects were tagged as ‘climate adaptation’, and measures worth over Rs600bn classified as ‘climate mitigation’. “This year, these numbers will increase. However, the true essence of tagging must be followed — it should be inclusive, not just a box-ticking activity,” said SDPI Research Fellow Dr Khalid Waleed. Pakistan is no stranger to climate-induced disasters. From 1992 to 2021, it cost the country $29.3 billion, according to a State Bank of Pakistan report on climate change’s economic impact. The 2022 monsoon floods alone cost at least $28 billion. By 2050, Pakistan stands to lose up to 6.5 per cent of its GDP, with agriculture and industry bearing the brunt. Both the SBP and experts agree the country is unprepared unless it climate-proofs its fiscal plans. The approach, they stress, must be rooted in science, putting people at the centre and promoting climate-smart development models. All the tools Ali Tauqeer Sheikh, an Islamabad-based climate expert and former climate change advisor at the Planning Commission, argues that while the government has all the tools at its disposal, it doesn’t seem interested in using them. The government formally notified Pakistan’s Handbook on Climate Risk Screening for Policy Planning in June 2024. Yet, in the financial year that followed, none of the around 57 approved projects underwent “necessary risk screening, in violation of the approved policy”, said Mr Sheikh, who helped develop the handbook. “The budget exercise every year is basically the dialogue of the deaf,” he said, describing the process as devoid of climate-smart proposals. Failing to climate-proof PSDP projects “increases the cost of climate action and makes populations more vulnerable”, he warned. Dr Fahad Saeed, who runs the Weather and Climate Services think tank in Islamabad, regrets that scientific evidence is missing from Pakistan’s climate policymaking. The government allocates funds for climate action before even deciding whether they will be spent on mitigation, adaptation, or loss and damage. Without a cost-benefit analysis rooted in evidence, “decisions are not embedded in science,” he said, calling for an audit of climate-earmarked budgetary allocations. Climate-tagging development Last year, the government touted the budget as “climate-focused” and introduced “climate budget tagging” under the RSF to classify climate-sensitive expenditures in line with the National Climate Change Policy. Ammara Aslam at the Policy Research Institute for Equitable Development said that while the associated conditionalities and mandatory climate screening are “present on paper, climate-proofing the budget would require a robust implementation framework”. Every department and sector, she argued, needs to transition “from broad, unallocated budgetary statements to funding specific, verifiable, climate-resilient infrastructure projects”. Dr Shafqat Munir, who leads the resilience programme at SDPI, called tagging “a good step” but insufficient in the current scenario. “IMF and World Bank programmes are helping to open the door, but they are not yet transforming Pakistan’s fiscal model.” The RSF, he noted, “is still too reform-heavy and financing-light. It can improve systems, but it cannot close Pakistan’s adaptation financing gap”. New pillar Dr Munir argued that climate change should be embedded as a standalone pillar in development planning, with new budget heads for adaptation, climate-risk financing, and anticipatory action. “Let’s move beyond budget tagging,” he said, calling for poverty-proof and climate-risk-sensitive allocations for 2026-27. His five-point priority agenda: protection of people, livelihoods, infrastructure, fiscal stability, and growth — in that order. Experts also urged the government to promote rather than tax green technologies. “Taxing green technologies does not do any service to Pakistan’s renewable energy goals,” said Ms Aslam, calling for existing and proposed duties on solar panels, battery storage, and related components to be scrapped. Mr Sheikh agreed, warning such measures could undermine Pakistan’s climate-smart policy direction entirely. Published in Dawn, June 5th, 2026
