This study investigates the role of thrift entrepreneurs in the emerging circular economy, examining how they use digital platforms to promote sustainable consumption and navigate systemic barriers in informal market environments. It explores the socio-cultural, technological, and institutional factors that enable or constrain their participation in circular fashion ecosystems. Using a qualitative research design, the study employs document analysis, thematic coding, and a secondary literature review, drawing on recent empirical data from Southeast Asian digital thrift markets. The analysis is framed by Digital Inequality Theory (Robinson et al., 2015), Social Capital Theory (Putnam, 2000), and circular economy frameworks (OECD, 2022). Findings reveal six core themes: circular values and sustainability narratives; digital adaptation and entrepreneurial bricolage; informality, inequity, and exclusion from formal capital and regulation; social capital formation and cultural community-building; identity politics in thrift branding; and the need for nuanced, inclusive policy responses. The study concludes that equitable circular economies require robust policy frameworks, improved digital infrastructure, and formal recognition of informal entrepreneurial actors, and calls for future interdisciplinary research.

This study uses monthly data sources from the State Bank of Pakistan to examine the impact of inflation, exports, foreign direct investment, foreign reserves, and imports on Pakistan's currency exchange rates from July 2018 to January 2023. The empirical results demonstrate that inflation and imports have a positive and significant effect on the exchange rate in the short term by using the ARDL bound test. Exchange rates are negatively impacted by exports, foreign direct investment, and foreign reserves. Inflation, imports, and foreign reserves have a positive and considerable influence on currency exchange rates over the long term.

The analysis examines the relationship between economic indicators and final household consumption expenditures (FHCE) in Pakistan from 1991-2023. Four variables were used: total population, corruption perception index, political stability, and absence of violence. The results show a positive association between the general population and FHCE in both the short and long terms. However, the corruption perception index reduces FHCE by 0.4430 units, with a negative short-term effect. Political stability has a moderate long-term effect. PSVA has a negative influence on FHCE. The model explains 85.60% variation in FHCE, suggesting population growth management, corruption control, and political stability policies.
