Pakistan seeks $1.4 billion IMF loan to tackle economic slowdown from COVID-19. Alain Bejjani, chief executive of Dubai-based Majid Al Futtaim Group (MAF), told Arab News that delivery orders had soared more than 50 percent across the region..

But the virus outbreak has led to a big increase in sales at Carrefour stores in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere..
