**The only Olympics torchbearer from Pakistan – Zainab Imran
She is just another 16-year-old school girl, but her flare for sports has elevated her to becoming the only torchbearer to represent Pakistan in the London Olympics 2012.
**
“I want the world to know that my country is no less than others. Its young leaders will lead it,” says an excited Zainab Imran over the phone.The Olympic Torch Relay will light the whole of the United Kingdom (UK) by passing through more than 1,000 communities, and each torchbearer will share his or her story of inspiration to millions of viewers.
A student of the Nasra Education Trust, Zainab is part of the International Inspiration – a programme by the British Council to enrich the lives of schoolchildren in developing countries through the power of sport. The programme currently links 40 schools in Pakistan to 18 schools in the UK.
Zainab is a foortball player. Through her school and the Council, she is selected as one of the 8,000 torchbearers around the world to gather at a rally in Nottingham on June 28.From the 20 countries that are part of the programme, one representative from each country becomes a torchbearer this Olympics. The selection is made on the basis of each representative’s commitment to enrich lives through sport.
The torchbearer’s mother, on the other hand, has no idea that her daughter is becoming famous. “Of course, I am happy that she is going to the Olympics. But I had no idea the opportunity was this big,” she says. In 2008, Shahzad Roy was selected as a torchbearer from Pakistan for being a social entrepreneur and educating poor children in the country

Expanding Pakistan’s presence in space for commercial and strategic purposes, SUPARCO is planning to build its next scientific satellite of the BADAR series.
The proposed satellite will carry a number of engineering evaluation and scientific experiments, including those from R&D organizations, academic institutions and other unnamed national agencies.
This endeavour is apart of Pakistan’s “Space Programme 2040”, which envisions making the country a major player in space.
Pakistan successfully launched its first satellite (PAKSAT-1R) last year.

**Pakistani game developer joins ranks of Atari and Kabam
****ISLAMABAD: A Pakistani social game developer is poised to join global gaming giants Atari and Kabam after accreditation from 6waves – the largest Facebook game publisher in the world.
**
According to a news release issued here, Islamabad’s White Rabbit Studios is the only Facebook gaming studio from Pakistan – and in fact the entire South Asian region – to be featured in the list of key social game developers. As a result of this partnership, the company will gain access to more than 30 million users in 6waves’ gigantic Facebook user network, said the release.
While White Rabbit Studios is a three-year-old game development company, primarily and solely focused on content creation, the Islamabad-based set-up is already considered a veteran in the social gaming scene. It is funded by a prominent Pakistani-American entrepreneur and first came to the fore in early 2010 with the release of Pakistan’s first social game on Facebook – Feline Frenzy – the release added.
White Rabbit’s Facebook partnership with 6waves will lend it an opportunity to become one of the leading content creation companies in South Asia; a rare feat in the services dominated IT sectors of Pakistan and India. “It is very exciting to see our company’s name mentioned along with the likes of Atari and Kabam,” said CEO of White Rabbit Studios Hassan Baig.
“We’re very confident in our ability to compete with the finest minds in centres of innovation across the world. We can do everything they can, and at more favourable economics. We may be considered underdogs at present, but the future, beyond any doubt, will belong to us,” he said.
The multi-billion dollar social gaming industry is reported to be growing at a faster pace than Hollywood, the press release stated; adding that 6waves has previously published several hit games on Facebook, and their partner vetting process is considered one of the most rigorous in the industry.
Overall, White Rabbit’s strategic partnership with 6waves not only bodes well for the future of the IT sector in Pakistan and portrays a new face of the country to the world, but also scripts an interesting new chapter in the history of tech rivalry between Pakistan and India, observed the release.

Pakistan elected to the Global Securities Regulatory Board
Karachi: The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) **elected to the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO)****Board established today at the IOSCO Annual Conference in Beijing.**The SECP successfully contested the elections against various IOSCO members. This is the first time in the history of Pakistan that a regulatory body has been
elected to a decision making board at an international forum.IOSCO, the international standard setter in the field of securities regulation has a membership base from 115 countries covering more than 95% of the world’s capital markets and has the commitment to establish and maintain consistently high regulatory standards for the securities industry. The SECP has been a member of IOSCO since 1998.
In order to effectively implement international securities regulatory principles, IOSCO has implemented the New Strategic Direction to strengthen its role in the international financial community and align its strategic direction with the evolving financial regulatory landscape. Under this Strategic Direction IOSCO has eliminated the distinction between developed and emerging markets jurisdictions in its three key functions; policy & standard setting, market development and coordination & outreach.
The IOSCO Board apart from the SECP comprises of approximately 30 securities regulators from jurisdictions including members of the IOSCO Technical Committee; (United States, United Kingdom, Japan, France, Germany, China, Canada, Italy, Australia, India, Brazil, Hong Kong, Mexico, Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland) the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the
Emerging Markets Committee, Chairmen of four IOSCO Regional Committees; and 2 ordinary members elected by each Regional Committee from among the
ordinary members of that region. IOSCO Board has a major representation from developed countries with advanced capital markets, whereas a number of
developing and emerging countries are members of IOSCO. The SECP’s election
to IOSCO Board brings more balance and diversity to the IOSCO Board, enabling it to act as a representative and voice of the developing capital markets. The SECP’s endeavor to form part of the IOSCO Board was supported
by a host of jurisdictions including Australia, China, India, Japan, Korea and Singapore to name a few.
The SECP, a signatory to IOSCO’s Multilateral Memorandum of Understanding,
remains committed to advance IOSCO’s mandate through its contribution and participation in various committees and task forces constituted by IOSCO.
SECP has also been the Chair of IOSCO EMC Working Group 3 on regulation of Market Intermediaries since 2003, presently holds the designation of Co-Chair of the Working Group and will hold the position of vice chair IOSCO Committee on Market Intermediaries from 2013-14. In addition, the SECP is also project team member of EMC WG5 on Investment Management, member of the taskforce on development of corporate bond markets and member of the taskforce on Capital Financing of SMEs through the Capital Markets.The SECP will now form an integral part of IOSCO’s Board responsible for taking all decisions and undertaking all actions necessary or convenient to achieve the objectives of the organization. The Board will convene for the first time on May 17 2012 before the closing of the IOSCO Annual Conference 2012.
SECP’s presence on the IOSCO Board will substantiate the mandate of IOSCO since, as a global representative of capital market regulators around the world, it is important for IOSCO to engender focused and constructive dialogue amongst securities regulators so that the policies and standards for securities regulation reflect broad consensus of member jurisdictions.
In this regard, SECP’s bilateral links with its counterpart regulators in emerging market jurisdictions would add value to the IOSCO Board in terms of facilitating a consultative dialogue process for the mutual benefit of emerging market regulators.Being elected to the Board portrays Pakistan’s contribution to this vital forum and has been a key factor in improving the country’s image globally.
The SECP Chairman Mr. Muhammad Ali who will be the SECP’s representative to the Board, while delivering his speech on the occasion stated, “IOSCO has a
critical role in leading the development of the global framework for securities markets and Pakistan looks forward to supporting this progress as part of the think tank towards improving regulatory standards. The SECP has the resources to commit towards taking IOSCO’s mandate forward, comprehend the issues faced by IOSCO member community and has the passion to bring new ideas to make IOSCO an effective standard setting body.Markets in Pakistan are at a key development stage and thus Pakistan will be in a unique position to bring to the fore the issues faced by the emerging markets”.Being an emerging economy in the Asia Pacific region, Pakistan’s experience in implementation of global standards and reforms, put SECP in a good position to add substantial value to the IOSCO Board. The SECP is currently a part of the IOSCO Presidents Committee, Emerging Markets Committee (EMC), Emerging Markets Committee Advisory Board (EMCAB), Asia Pacific Regional Committee and Assessment Committee. Furthermore, the SECP is also a full signatory to IOSCO’s Multilateral Memorandum of Understanding (MMoU) for cross border cooperation and information exchange.
Apart from IOSCO, SECP is also a member of the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS) and International Organization of Pension Supervisors (IOPS). Mr. Muhammad Ali quoted “By virtue of its participation and active contribution at these forums to benchmark Pakistan’s financial markets with international standards, SECP has developed expertise and experience in regulatory issues across these sectors. We understand that our work experience with IAIS and IOPS will add value to the role at IOSCO Board, considering the linkages of all these financial sector standard setting forums”.
