Alibaba.com Introduces Trade Assurance in Pakistan, Enabling Local SMEs to Trade with Enhanced Confidence

                                                   

Alibaba.com, a leading global business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce platform, today announced the launch of Trade Assurance in Pakistan, enabling local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to trade with enhanced confidence. With this launch, Pakistan joins the ranks of a select few markets where Alibaba.com has introduced this valued service for suppliers.

 

The launch was announced at the 2025 Alibaba.com Pakistan Supplier Export Summit, held in Sialkot, a hub of industrial excellence. At the event, Alibaba.com shared insights into the growth opportunities and emerging trends within the global apparel industry, which is projected to reach a market size of $1.79 trillion in 2024, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.81% from 2024 to 2028¹.

 

“Alibaba.com’s decision to hold the Pakistan Supplier Export Summit in Sialkot underscores the city’s industrial importance and potential,” said Ikram Ul Haq, President of the Sialkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry. “This event has brought immense value to our local businesses by connecting them with global opportunities and introducing the tools needed to succeed in international markets. Initiatives like this reflect Alibaba.com’s dedication to supporting Sialkot’s SMEs to grow and thrive on a global scale.”

 

Bringing Peace of Mind to Pakistani Suppliers

 

Global B2B trade can be fraught with challenges, including concerns over costs, product quality, shipment timelines, and more. Trade Assurance, a proprietary order protection service offered by Alibaba.com, alleviates some of these risks, providing both suppliers and buyers with confidence throughout the entire transaction process. Suppliers who opt for this service can conduct business with peace of mind, knowing that their transactions are securely safeguarded by a trusted platform. The service stipulates that the buyer makes payment at the time of purchase, with the funds held in escrow by Alibaba.com until the buyer confirms the satisfactory receipt of the order within a reasonable timeframe.

 

“Pakistan represents a high-potential supplier market for Alibaba.com, boasting robust production capabilities and a diverse range of product categories that capture substantial global buyer interest. To capitalize on this potential, we have introduced the Trade Assurance service in Pakistan. This service is designed to foster trust between suppliers and global buyers while streamlining transaction processes. Our goal is to enhance efficiency and unlock new business opportunities for Pakistan suppliers to support their growth and success,” said Roger Luo, Head of Southeast Asia at Alibaba.com.

 

Participating suppliers stand to benefit significantly from Trade Assurance, as the service not only enhances buyers’ trust in them but also allows them to build a robust online transaction history. By enhancing their online profile, suppliers can improve their ranking and visibility on Alibaba.com, ultimately leading to a wealth of future business opportunities.

 

“Trust is the foundation of success in international trade. When dealing with buyers from different parts of the world, ensuring that both sides feel secure is critical. Trade Assurance bridges this trust gap by offering payment protection and transparent processes, which are crucial for fostering long-term relationships. With this service, buyers feel confident placing large orders, and sellers like us can focus on delivering quality products without worrying about payment risks,” said Tayyub Hussnain, Founder of Norwich Streetwear, a Sialkot-based verified supplier on Alibaba.com specializing in custom apparel. In 2023, the company secured more than $1 million’s worth of orders through Alibaba.com.

 

“We are thrilled to bring Trade Assurance to Pakistan. Conducting transactions through this service will enable Pakistani SMEs to build a robust online transaction history, bolster their credit ratings, and enhance their reputation with global buyers. We believe the comprehensive order protection it offers can reduce trade barriers for SMEs, opening pathways for them to flourish in the global marketplace,” said Summer Gao, Head of Global Supply Chain Services at Alibaba.com.

 

Supporting Pakistani Apparel Suppliers

 

The 2025 Alibaba.com Pakistan Supplier Export Summit brought together more than 500 SME representatives from Sialkot to explore emerging business trends, innovative technologies and future-ready solutions poised to redefine their operations in the digital era. Recognizing Pakistan’s strong position in the apparel sector, Alibaba.com highlighted the potential for local businesses to penetrate international markets, driven by global demand for quality apparel products.

 

To bolster Pakistani clothing suppliers, Alibaba.com has recently introduced a suite of services tailored specifically for the apparel industry, offering tools and resources that enhance product visibility, streamline operations and facilitate connections with buyers worldwide. This strategic focus on the apparel sector aims to help Pakistani businesses maximize their growth potential and strengthen their presence in the competitive global market.

Only 20% of businesses and organisations are prepared for climate-related disasters, new research from ACCA reveals as COP29 climate summit opens

                                             

Businesses and other organisations are not prepared for weather-related disasters, with out-of-date business continuity plans failing to reflect the frequency of disruption of climate-related events, according to ACCA’s latest report weathering the storm: building resilience against climate disruptions.

This new report paints a concerning picture of organisational preparedness, with only 20% of businesses and other organisations surveyed identifying climate-related risks across their operations. Even more troubling is that a mere 17% regularly rehearse their response to major disruptions, while 25% have no mechanisms in place to build resilience at all.

‘Spain's recent floods and intensifying hurricanes worldwide are harrowing reminders that climate change is not a distant threat; it’s reshaping lives and communities right now,’ said report author Emmeline Skelton, Head of Sustainability at ACCA. ‘Organisations must make climate adaptation a priority— not only to safeguard their operations but to protect the people and places at risk. Rising temperatures, more intense rainfall, and swelling sea levels make the evidence unmistakable: we must act now to build resilience and mitigate further harm.

‘The escalating environmental threats demand comprehensive preparation measures. Yet our survey reveals that climate adaptation planning is still not receiving the urgent attention it requires. It’s time for organisations to take decisive action to protect both their future and the communities they serve. ‘However, resilience is not a priority for organisations with two-thirds of respondents not investing adequately to address the physical risks posed by climate change, and only 37% planning to increase spending in this area.

 ‘Organisations with a digital-first approach can’t overlook climate risks affecting their remote workforce,’ she added. ‘To ensure resilience, forward-thinking organisations need to proactively support remote workers with measures like power backups and health monitoring to stay prepared in an increasingly unpredictable climate.’

Data for the report came from ACCA Global Economic Conditions Survey of over 600 finance professionals around the world and illustrates these concerns vividly. Power outages topped the list of climate-related disruptions in Africa (54% of respondents), while North America’s leading worries included supply chain breakdowns (41%) and employee health issues (39%).

 

CFOs and finance teams are essential to building climate resilience through risk-based planning and sustainable business strategies. By championing transparency in emissions targets and transition plans, finance professionals play a critical role in reducing carbon footprints and advancing net-zero goals, ultimately supporting a fair, inclusive, and climate-resilient future.

ACCA will be sharing the findings of this report, and other research and guidance it has produced on a range of sustainability issues, at the COP29 climate summit in Azerbaijan. The report includes tool kits for finance teams to build skills in resilience in areas of scenario testing, crisis management planning and business continuity plans. It also lists key actions business and governments must take to build resilience and address climate-related risks. Find out more at our website.

Apple’s Visual Look-Up can identify landmarks, but Infinix AI ♾️ goes far beyond mere recognition. Imagine pointing your camera at a monument and not just learning its name, but receiving rich historical context, fun facts, and nearby recommendations. Infinix's Visual Look Up ♾️ acts as your historian, botanist, and travel guide all in one. For travel enthusiasts, Infinix transforms adventures into immersive experiences, while Apple’s offerings still feel a bit surface-level

Time is precious, and Infinix AI’s Live Texts ♾️ feature shines in this aspect. Whether you’re dealing with lengthy notes or complex reports, simply take a snap, and it will summarize the key points instantly. Forget the tedious task of reading entire PDFs or emails— it cuts straight to the essentials. While Apple’s Live Text helps extract text, summarizing it is still left to the user, giving Infinix a clear edge for those juggling tight schedules.

4. Elevating Your Creativity: Storytelling at Its Best

Sure, Apple’s Visual Look-Up can identify objects, but Infinix AI ♾️ adds a creative flair that Apple can’t match.

Whether you’re a content creator or just looking to enhance your Instagram game, Infinix AI's Magic Create ♾️ turns each snapshot into a storytelling moment. While Apple leaves creativity up to you, Infinix is providing a helping hand for those wanting to instantly elevate their content.

5. Image Recognition: Learn and Explore

Infinix AI ♾️ doesn’t stop at basic identification; it dives deeper. Snap a picture of a plant, and Infinix AI ♾️ will not only tell you its species but also provide detailed information about its care, origin, and even medicinal uses. It’s like carrying an encyclopedia in your pocket, ready to teach you something new with every click. Apple’s Visual Look Up offers basic identification, but Infinix AI ♾️ enriches the learning experience with insightful knowledge that truly expands your understanding.

The Bottom Line: Is Infinix AI ♾️ Ready to Take the Crown?

While Apple’s iPhone 16 is undoubtedly a technological marvel, Infinix AI ♾️ presents a fresh, versatile, and engaging experience that extends beyond traditional functionality. From solving complex problems to enriching your travel experiences, Infinix AI ♾️ showcases features that Apple has yet to explore fully.

As the tech world gears up for the iPhone 16 launch, don’t overlook Infinix AI ♾️. With its impending debut in early October 2024, we could witness a significant shift in the AI landscape. This new contender might be the breakthrough needed to challenge Apple’s longstanding dominance. The future of AI innovation is shaping up to be an exciting battle, and it’s one you won’t want to miss.
