Last week, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar repeated his call for a charter of economy and isolating the economic realm from politics during his conversation at Pakistan Prosperity Forum. One can say that all economic policies are political choices as they create winners and losers, therefore the call for the charter of economy has not gained significant traction.

Ideally, all political parties should endorse the charter of economy.

Researchers from the University of Basel and the University Hospital Basel in Switzerland have tested the possibility of artificial maturing of breast cancer cells and turning them into normal cells again. Led by Professor Mohamed Bentires-Alj, the research study provided promising results in treating an aggressive type of carcinoma called triple-negative breast cancer. Breast cancer cells are susceptible to estrogen and can be treated with anti-estrogenic therapies, which are highly effective in patients. Group leader at the Department of Biomedicine, Bentires-Alj said, "We show here that we can convert breast cancer cells to less harmful cells that stop growing." Referring to the new research treatment, he furthered, "Understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms that define cancer and how these mechanisms differ from normal cells is crucial for developing new innovative therapies.

The way towards success for both PIA and Pakistan Railways was through undertaking structural reforms and fiscal discipline, he added.

He said that the increase in agricultural production can improve the condition of the country’s economy. He urged all parliamentary parties to devise a plan for improving the agriculture sector. He said that despite being an agricultural country, Pakistan is forced to import food items including wheat and sugar, which is the main reason for the decrease in agricultural production in the country.
