Emirates named YouGov's Most Recommended Global Brand
The YouGov rankings measure the percentage of customers who would recommend a brand to friends or colleagues, based on over one million customer surveys across 28 markets conducted between June 2024 and May 2025. The scores reflect daily brand performance tracking through YouGov Brand Index, with results weighted by each brand's customer base size per market.
Emirates President Sir Tim Clark said the recognition reflects the deep connection and loyalty built with passengers worldwide, who trust the airline to deliver care, reliability, and excellence. He emphasized the company's commitment to continuously evolving its travel experience and setting new industry benchmarks.
The airline has maintained its customer-centric approach by investing in premium products and signature services to deliver world-class experiences both in-flight and on-ground. In early 2025, Emirates expanded its network with three new destinations, opened nine re-imagined retail stores across Asia, Africa and Europe, introduced its newest A350 aircraft to 10 destinations, and became the world's first Autism Certified Airline™ as part of its accessibility initiatives.
The achievement reinforces Emirates' 'Fly Better' promise and demonstrates the airline's success in building customer loyalty.

Balancing the books and the battlefield: Pakistan's fiscal strategy for FY2025–26—III
With an eye on long-term innovation, Rs?79?billion is dedicated to the IT sector. Major developments include the Karachi IT Park, Islamabad Technology Park, and a national freelancing platform. The government also aims to scale up IT exports, which have already grown 21 percent year-on-year. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will benefit from increased access to low-cost financing and enhanced risk coverage. Over Rs 300 billion has already been disbursed to 95,000 businesses, with the government planning to double this outreach through new policy tools and financial instruments. Remittances—Pakistan's most stable source of foreign exchange—rose to USD 38.3 billion last year, a remarkable 27 percent year-on-year increase. Enhanced services for overseas Pakistanis, such as secure digital transfers, diaspora awards, and legal protections, are helping cement trust and sustain these vital inflows. These remittances serve as a bulwark against external imbalances and are instrumental in maintaining the State Bank's foreign exchange reserves, which currently stand at a reassuring USD?14 billion. The export target for FY2025–26 is set at USD 35.3 billion—a 7.4 percent increase—while imports are expected to grow to USD?65.2?billion. This will result in a trade deficit of nearly USD 30 billion, which the government plans to offset through robust remittance inflows and foreign direct investment. Exporters, especially in textiles, IT, and rice, will benefit from zero-rated tax regimes, tariff rationalization, and simplified refund systems. A newly proposed Tariff Reform Package aims to reduce maximum duty rates to 15 percent within four years, enhancing global competitiveness and easing the burden on domestic producers.
