Pakistan celebrates IMF bailout

The IMF announces a $7bn bailout package for Pakistan.

Pakistan has welcomed a $7bn IMF bailout package as the country emerges from one of its worst economic crises. Now, the government has increased its efforts to raise nearly $46bn in taxes for the year - we hear from Pakistan鈥檚 business community and a former finance minister about what鈥檚 next for the country.

Elsewhere, in the US, plane maker Boeing faces more turbulence after a warning from the safety regulator, which has told US politicians that they won't let the company boost production until it addresses a series of issues. Meanwhile, Rahul Tandon speaks to a key player at New York Climate Week about what companies are really doing to reach net zero. Is it enough? And we ask where the US economy is heading, as the main presidential candidates set out their vision for the economy.

Rahul is joined by Emily Peck, markets correspondent at Axios in New York and Mehmal Sarfraz - journalist and co-founder of The Current in Lahore.
