Pakistan’s leader faces political crisis amid inflation troubles
Prime Minister Imran Khan of Pakistan faces a severe political crisis amid rising inflation and economic challenges. Critics accuse him of mismanagement, leading to a no-confidence motion in Parliament. Khan's coalition is losing support, and he faces opposition from within his party and the military. Despite rallies and accusations against foreign conspiracies, his political isolation grows. The Supreme Court's decision on party members' votes and the military's stance will be crucial. Public dissatisfaction with inflation and economic policies further complicates Khan's position.

New Tax Puts Another Dent in Pakistan Auto Sales
New excise taxes on automobiles in Pakistan have further depressed an already struggling market, with significant declines in car and light-commercial-vehicle sales from key manufacturers like Suzuki, Toyota, and Honda.

Despite current challenges, there is potential for growth with new manufacturers like Volkswagen planning to invest in the country. The automotive policy aims to increase production, but established brands are expected to maintain their market dominance due to consumer trust and availability of parts.
