Finance Minister Ishaq Dar declared Saturday that Pakistan will not default despite opposition propaganda.

Dar predicts economic growth

"Pakistan won't default on opposition propaganda" (Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf). Mr. Dar told businessmen that the government isn't headed for default.

Imran Khan and other PTI officials anticipate Pakistan will default due to PML-"bad N's policies." Mr. Khan believes the economy can only be stabilized with new elections and a stable government.

Mr. Dar said the opposition hurts the country's economy. The opposition also spreads corruption rumors to deter foreign investment. The PTI should not meddle with the economy, he said.

The minister lamented his treatment during the past PML administration. "I was a terrorist." My transgression was improving the country's economy. Mr. Dar spent five years in self-exile in the UK.

He criticized the PTI and PML-N for devaluing the currency. Rupee devaluation During Shahid Khaqan Abbasi's tenure, I said the government couldn't stop currency depreciation if a devaluation policy was followed, he said.

Ishaq Dar criticized Miftah Ismail's policies. Mr Dar replaced Mr Ismail after returning from London in September and getting bail in a NAB corruption reference.

During his first weeks in government, the rupee rose, but now it's struggling. Its value versus the US dollar is over Rs230, and foreign cash, notably the USD and EUR, is scarce.

Mr. Dar pledged no more national economy experiments. "We're attempting to stabilize the economy," he said, adding that the administration has decided to ban wheat smuggling.

He said Pakistan should have been in the G-20 when the PML-N government ended based on its growth. Our economy is 46th in the world, he bemoaned.

When the PML-N took office in 2013, many feared the country was about to fail, but they avoided it.

Mr. Dar said the PDM government must work hard to improve macroeconomic indices.

“Here, the wealthiest get their loans cancelled off, but a few thousand impoverished widows' properties are seized,” he remarked.

Gohar Ijaz, a participant businessman, proposed a fee cut. He inquired why Turkey maintained interest rates low despite inflation.

The hackers made fake websites that looked like NFT projects, NFT marketplaces, and even a DeFi platform. Hackers with ties to North Korea's Lazarus Group are said to be behind a massive phishing campaign that targets investors in nonfungible tokens (NFTs). The campaign uses nearly 500 phishing domains to trick people into giving away their personal information. SlowMist, a blockchain security company, released a report on December 24 that showed the methods that North Korean Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups have used to trick NFT investors out of their NFTs. These methods include putting up fake websites that look like different platforms and projects related to NFTs. Some of these fake websites include one that pretends to be a World Cup project and others that try to look like popular NFT marketplaces like OpenSea, X2Y2, and Rarible. SlowMist said that one of the methods was for these fake websites to offer "malicious mints," which trick the victims into thinkin...

Brazil's Federal Revenue Requires Citizens To Pay Taxes On Crypto Trades

  The Federal Revenue of Brazil wants investors to pay taxes on cryptocurrency trading profits, even if there is no exchange for Brazil's national currency. Brazil's Federal Reserve (RFB) has declared that Brazilian investors in the crypto-asset market must pay income tax on transactions that involve the like-kind exchange of cryptocurrencies; for example, Bitcoin (BTC) for Ethereum (ETH). The RFB's declaration was published in the Diário Oficial da União and was the result of a consultation made by a citizen of the country with the regulator.  At the end of last year, the group issued an opinion in which it claimed that trading between cryptocurrency pairs is taxable even if there is no conversion to the real (Brazil's national currency). Although it does not specify what can be understood as "profit," since in the exchange of one crypto asset for another there is no capital gain in fiat currency, it points out that there is, even so, the obligation to pay t...
