The star-studded and narrative-centric anthem features Zalmi ambassadors and players in a grand fashion. With the initial teasers featuring Hamza Ali Abbasi riding a horse and Mahira Khan making a grand stroll as the ambassadors of Zalmi, the hype around the anthem only amplified. The anthem also features the leading players of Peshawar Zalmi, including Babar Azam, Muhammad Haris, Saim Ayub, Arshad Iqbal, Salman Irshad, Khurram Shahzad, Usman Qadir, Sufiyan Muqeem, and last but not least, Peshawar Zalmi’s head coach Darren Sammy, who is also an honorary Pakistani and loved by all Pakistanis. The beauty and diversity resting in Peshawar Zalmi’s anthem is also driven by the fact that it creates a musical harmony between Pashto, Urdu, and English and makes the entire anthem a global mix.

Each year, the globally anticipated team anthem hits millions of views with its release and becomes the most watched musical content of the season. However, more so, the beauty of TCL and Peshawar Zalmi’s anthems rests in the fact of how it is an avenue providing upcoming young talent with a platform to showcase their talent.

Majid Khan Niazi, TCL’s head of marketing, said, “At TCL, we’ve always been passionate about bringing hidden talents to the forefront, and the PSL cricket-mela provides us with the perfect stage to showcase our unwavering commitment to the nation. We’re proud to power the electrifying anthem, ‘Zalmi Raalal’ of the mighty Peshawar Zalmi, as well as their team, with our unwavering dedication to fostering new talent and making this PSL season a thrilling, unforgettable experience. So, join us in celebrating the spirit of cricket, as we gear up to make history and leave a lasting impact on the game.”

The public sector needs to respond to multiple global challenges to create a safe, sustainable, and prosperous future that works for all.

 ACCA’s virtual public sector conference explored the challenges and the solutions that face public sector financial professionals as they work towards transforming the public sector. Such a task would be a challenge at any time but it is made significantly harder by a combination of war, high rates of inflation and a pressing climate challenge.

 Accountancy is at the centre of public sector transformation. Finance professionals need the rightskills to improve financial management and drive policy and spending decisions. New thinking in the public sector has never been more important and the conference heard about ACCA’s recently published guides on professionalising the public sector, launched with IFAC on 18 November 2022, and green budgeting. Both strong examples of the new thinking required.

 The conference also heard aboutthe unenviable choices facing finance leaders in the public sector. In the opening keynote Public Purse Prioritisation -public finance during a cost of living crisisVladyslawRashkovan, alternate executive director at the International Monetary Fund and former deputy governor of the National Bank of Ukraine, illustrated how tough spending choices were in a war zone, with trade offs between funding weapons or protecting citizens. He said: ‘Many hard choices exist over budget allocation. While slogans like build back better are great, winter is coming, and people cannot live on the streets. So, for donors and government the hard reality may bring unpleasant tradeoffs between the speed and quality of reconstructing of places where people are housed.’

In addition to providing top-quality products, TCL XL Collection TV is designed for big-screen entertainment and offers an impressive 75 inches of screen real estate with four times more pixels than standard HD TVs! The latest series of televisions are engineered with 4K HDR 10+ and Dolby Vision IQ high dynamic range (HDR) technology to deliver exceptional picture performance with vivid color contrast and brightness levels that exceed those of traditional LCD TVs while supporting all HDR formats including Dolby Vision™ technology from Netflix® or VUDU® UHD content from Google Play™ Movies & TV and more!

This might be one of the best reasons why you should invest in this latest TV model by TCL that comes with 4K resolution and up to a 120Hz refresh rate, so it can deliver crisp images on your large television set while keeping motion blur at bay.There are few important considerations while making your mind to buy a LED TV.

• Screen size: If you want a truly cinematic experience, you’ll need to step up to 4K resolution. Higher resolutions will make the picture sharper, but it’ll also cost you more money (and possibly even a bigger TV).

• Display technology: LED-LCD TVs are still one of the most common types available today—they use LED backlighting combined with LCD panels instead of OLED ones—but they’re being steadily replaced by newer technologies like QLEDs (QLED stands for Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diode) and MiniLEDs (which use micrometer-sized LED lights that allow them to eliminate the backlight and color filters used in LCD LED displays for a thinner design).

These newer displays offer higher brightness levels than their predecessors while maintaining an impressive color gamut coverage that allows them to produce deeper blacks without compromising on detail or vibrancy overall.

• Contrast ratio: This one’s pretty easy -the higher the contrast ratio, the better your picture will look. The contrast ratio measures the difference between the darkest and brightest parts of your picture at 10,000,000: 1 top. The higher your contrast ratio, the better.

• Screen resolution: Resolution determines how sharp everything appears on your TV; as it climbs, so does image quality. 720p is good enough for most people who aren’t too worried about pixelated edges and fine details, but 1080p offers noticeably better clarity. TCL TVs are equipped with a steady 4K and 8K screen that can guarantee an amazing viewing experience.

• Refresh rate: This is another biggie because it determines how smooth your picture looks. Panel refresh rates range from 60Hz to 144Hz VRR, with higher numbers representing faster refresh rates and better performance.

TCL LEDs have been highly recommended for people who are looking out for overwhelming entertainment along with exciting and fun experiences. This is your chance to get your hands on the most reliable and equipped LEDs now available at TCL stores.

In Green budgeting: a toolkit for public sector finance professionals published today, ACCA sets out the reasons for considering green budgeting and the methods that can be adopted. It highlights the crucial role that finance professionals must play in making action on climate change a reality.

John Lelliott, OBE, FCCA, chair of ACCA’s Global Forum for Sustainability and former finance director at the UK Crown Estate, wrote a foreword to the toolkit. He says: ‘Action to address the climate crisis requires change across the entire public sector. Climate considerations must be central to public sector organisations’ decision-making processes. The budget cycle is at the heart of the way organisations implement their objectives.’

Green budgeting supports progress towards national and international climate commitments and goals; promotes environmentally responsive policy making; fosters transparency and helps investors as they look to fund sustainable activities through financial instruments such as green bonds.

The toolkit identifies three important conditions to support successful implementation: political will; building on existing processes; and adopting green budgeting across the whole public sector – half of all public spending on climate and the environment is at sub-national level.

The report also sets out five key steps to adopting green budgeting: develop a baseline; prioritise spending with the most impact; categorise and monitor spending; ensure external review and then learn and improve.

The toolkit highlights how finance professionals are at the heart of green budgeting and can enable public sector organisations to turn goals and ambitions into costed plans.

Assad Hameed Khan, head of ACCA Pakistan, says: ‘Climate change, as experienced through the recent floods, is already having a profound impact on Pakistan. Government is at the forefront of the response to climate change including the need to integrate and mainstream climate action in every public sector organisation. Accountancy and finance professionals in the public sector will be essential to this task. It’s a great opportunity for public sector accountants to step forward and make a real difference’.
