How to set up a conference call to Pakistan

Pakistan is a developing market with a young and increasing population of around 186 million – that’s three times the UK population – and around 55 million live in urban areas.

It’s reckoned Pakistan’s cities generate up to 78% of national Gross Domestic Product (GDP), with Karachi alone contributing about 20%. The growing and aspirational middle class has an appetite for creative, innovative and high quality goods and services.

There are over 100 British businesses trading in Pakistan – including some well-known names like Barclays, Unilever, Debenhams and Toni & Guy – and if you’re looking to join them, you’ll want an easy-to-use and cost-effective international conference call provider.

Today was meant to be ‘Brexit Day’, the day when the UK officially left the EU. Instead, MPs will vote for a third time on the PM’s deal and, in a bizarre reversal of a confidence vote, she has promised to give a date for her resignation if the deal goes through this time.

How to set up a conference call to Japan

The Japanese economy is massive – the third largest in the world and bigger than both the UK and Germany combined.

The country made up 6% of the world’s Gross Domestic Product in 2014 and ranks second in the 2013 Global Wealth Report with 62 Fortune 500 companies and the highest number of millionaires in Asia.
