Montana becomes the first US state to ban TikTok

Available for over a year

The ban will take effect in 2024 although doubts about how it will be enforced remain. We explore the legal aspects of the new legislation and the impact it could have on businesses that rely on the app to reach their clients. Political instability is affecting the economy in Pakistan, where the former Prime Minister, Imran Khan, says that police have surrounded his home in the city of Lahore and that he expects to be rearrested soon. We hear from a business based in Karachi, the country's commercial capital. Also in the programme, we look into the challenges of transitioning to greener economic models to fight climate change. Rahul Tandon discusses these and other business news with two guests throughout the programme: Sergio Guzman, director at Colombia Risk Analysis in Bogotá, and Moneeza Butt, partner at KPMG in Pakistan. .
