It gives me immense pleasure to congratulate the country's premier financial daily on successfully culminating half a century of unbiased, unfettered and comprehensive coverage of the news and events that shape our economy. Through the years, the Business Recorder has been the benchmark of accurate and timely information that businesses, large and small, have come to depend upon to stay abreast of local and international happenings that define and drive decision making.
But this newspaper's contribution to the economy extends far beyond the role of a messenger as it has actively advocated policies that are sustainable and advantageous for national prosperity. There is no doubt in my mind that the Business Recorder has always worked diligently to promote and protect national interest and the services of its men and women in oiling the wheels of the economy through thick and thin are as commendable as they are irreplaceable.
