Dear reader,

It was exactly 50 years ago that the Muslim world in general and Pakistan in particular witnessed the dawn of the first daily newspaper on broadsheet exhaustively dedicated to economics and finance. The members of its founding team, therefore, became the first to bring out a financial daily in Pakistan. We see Business Recorder’s golden jubilee as an opportunity to express our thanks for the support and loyalty this newspaper has enjoyed over a period of time. Today’s issue of this newspaper carries a 60-page compendium of articles penned by various authors to examine how this newspaper and the country’s economy have fared and worked in tandem in half a century and suggest a way forward—this is the most important segment of golden jubilee celebrations. Today worthy tributes are paid to the late MA Zuberi and other members of the founding team for their vision for this newspaper.
