uber uber: Remember that the Facebook and Amazon post-IPO trading was incredibly difficult for those companies, according to Market Watch. And look at how they have delivered since.

vetting technology: These facilities typically employ more than 2,000 people, according to The Japan Times. That would amount to more than 1,300 cuts across 55 U.S. fulfillment centers for standard-sized inventory. The company started adding technology to a handful of warehouses in recent years that scans goods coming down a conveyor belt and envelops them seconds later in boxes custom-built for each item, two people who worked on the project told Reuters. ; Amazon has considered installing two machines at dozens more warehouses, removing at least 24 roles at each one, these people said. Amazon would expect to recover the costs in under two years, at 1 million per machine plus operational expenses, they said. The changes are not finalized because vetting technology before a major deployment can take a long time. The plan, previously unreported, shows how Amazon is pushing to reduce labor and boost profits as automation of the most common warehouse task picking up an item is still beyond its reach.

expense: Pakistan is facing a challenging economic environment, with lackluster growth, elevated inflation, high indebtedness, and a weak external position, IMF representative Ernesto Ramirez Rigo said in statement, according to CNN. This reflects the legacy of uneven and procyclical economic policies in recent years aiming to boost growth, but at the expense of rising vulnerabilities and lingering structural and institutional weaknesses.

metro bank: Why is Metro Bank in the headlines The bank, which has 1.7 million customers and 67 branches in London and the south-east, is dealing with the fallout from the accounting blunder, which is being investigated by two financial regulators, according to The Guardian. It then announced a 350m capital raising to fund growth, having tapped investors for an extra 300m last summer. Shares in the bank have lost three-quarters of their value since it revealed a major accounting error in January.

Banks have to set aside more capital for riskier products, to ensure they can survive in a sudden downturn. The Prudential Regulation Authority spotted the accounting error, which meant a large chunk of commercial property loans and loans to commercial buy-to-let operators had been wrongly classified as lower risk.
