Blockchain and Cryptocurrency: Bilal made special assistant to PM
ISLAMABAD: In a bold move to ride the crypto wave, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Monday named UK-based entrepreneur Bilal bin Saqib as his special assistant on Blockchain and Cryptocurrency – a bold step toward putting Pakistan on the crypto map. The Prime Minister's Office issued a notification confirming that Saqib, a UK-based entrepreneur with experience in technology and philanthropy, has been appointed with the status of minister of state. Saqib will lead efforts to formulate a national strategy for digital assets, including drafting cryptocurrency regulations, establishing Bitcoin mining operations, and integrating Blockchain technology into sectors such as land records and public finance. He currently serves as Chief Executive Officer of the Pakistan Crypto Council and was recently appointed Chief Advisor to Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb. His new role is expected to accelerate Pakistan's entry into the digital asset space. Field Marshal Asim Munir meets Pakistan Crypto Council CEO Bilal Bin Saqib The appointment follows a major policy announcement on Sunday, in which the government allocated 2,000 megawatts of electricity for Bitcoin mining and artificial intelligence data centres. In parallel, the Finance Ministry launched the Pakistan Digital Assets Authority (PDAA), a new regulatory body tasked with creating a legal framework for cryptocurrencies, supervising asset tokenization, and formalizing Pakistan's estimated $300 billion informal crypto market. Officials said the PDAA would play a central role in developing Pakistan's Fintech sector by attracting investment, utilizing surplus energy, and promoting innovation among the country's youth, who make up nearly 70% of the population. Pakistan already has one of the highest cryptocurrency adoption rates in the world, with over 50 million users, and Saqib's appointment could bring structure and legitimacy to the rapidly growing sector. An alumnus of the London School of Economics, Saqib gained prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic through his 'One Million Meals' campaign in the UK, which delivered over 100,000 meals to National Health Service workers and vulnerable groups. The initiative earned him an MBE from King Charles III and commendation from Queen Elizabeth II and the Mayor of London. In Pakistan, he co-founded Tayaba, a social enterprise that introduced the H2O Wheel, a tool designed to ease water collection in rural communities. Saqib is expected to play a key role in advancing Pakistan's digital asset agenda, as the government moves to position itself as a player in the global crypto economy.

City & Guilds London: 50,000 students to receive certifications each year
ISLAMABAD: In a major development aimed at equipping Pakistani youth with globally recognised technical skills, under the agreement between GEMs UAE and City & Guilds, 50,000 students will receive internationally accredited certifications from City & Guilds London each year. The announcement was made during a media briefing held upon the return of a high-level Pakistani delegation from London, led by Minister of State for Education, Ms Wajiha Qamar. The delegation included Gulmina Bilal, Chairperson of the National Vocational and Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC), Ghulam Ali Mallah, Executive Director of IBCC, Amir Saadati, Executive Director of GEMS Middle East, and Hussain Shaikh, Global Head of Strategy GEMS Pakistan. Speaking at the briefing, Minister Wajiha Qamar and NAVTTC Chairperson Gulmina Bilal stated that a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) had been signed to offer global-standard technical training to youth in Pakistan. This initiative is expected to create vast employment opportunities abroad and enhance the competitiveness of Pakistani professionals in the international labour market. 'Our goal is to empower Pakistani youth with skills that meet global standards,' said Gulmina Bilal. 'Through this agreement, 50,000 students will be trained annually with the collaboration of City & Guilds, enabling them to secure quality employment opportunities in Europe, the Middle East, and other regions.' The agreement was formalized at the headquarters of City & Guilds in London, where the Pakistani delegation signed the MoU with City & Guilds CEO Ms Kirstie Donnelly. Ms Bilal added that this partnership will revolutionise Pakistan's vocational education sector and align its skilled workforce with international benchmarks. 'We do not want our youth to be limited to the local job market. This collaboration is a game-changer, as it will grant global recognition to Pakistani certifications,' she said. During the visit, the delegation also met with Lord Boateng and discussed bilateral cooperation on workforce mobility and skills development. Lord Boateng appreciated Pakistan's initiative and assured full support for future collaboration. The foundation for this partnership was laid during the UK delegation's visit to NAVTTC in Islamabad in 2024, where Pakistan's vocational training potential was recognized. Subsequently, City & Guilds certification programs were launched in Pakistan through GEMS representation. This agreement marks a major milestone in opening global employment doors for Pakistan's youth and promises to contribute significantly to the country's economic growth.

Digital skills gain momentum in South Punjab
The outcome of DEEP component-II will be the development of Pakistan Business Portal at a cost of $15 million for the first fiscal year of the project, ie, 2024-25. photo: file A quiet yet powerful digital transformation is sweeping across cities like Multan, Bahawalpur, Dera Ghazi Khan, and Rahim Yar Khan, where thousands of youth and women are embracing short online courses to gain skills for the global digital economy. From video editing and graphic design to freelancing and AI, low-cost courses — some offered for as little as Rs500 — are enabling people from all walks of life to build careers online. Conducted informally via WhatsApp groups or community setups, these courses have proven remarkably effective, opening new doors of income and opportunity for many with no formal technical background. One shining example is Tasneem Tariq, a housewife who now edits videos for social media influencers after completing a short editing course. "I used to feel left out when people talked about careers. Now, I feel empowered and soon I'll start contributing financially," she said. This grassroots movement is being driven by self-made trainers like Taimur and Adeel Chaudhry, who run regular online batches to guide students through practical learning. "This is not just a hobby anymore; it's a viable career path," says Taimur. Adeel adds, "Learners today ask smart questions — they want to monetize their skills, open YouTube channels, and sign up on freelancing platforms. It shows a positive societal shift." While the core momentum comes from citizens themselves, government initiatives have provided a crucial foundation. Platforms like e-Rozgar and NAVTTC have made certified training accessible, while Punjab Information Technology Board's e-Rozgar Centers in South Punjab offer structured learning and co-working support. These efforts are helping thousands transition into online careers and bring in valuable foreign income.
