Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has urged federal ministers to identify projects to boost foreign investment in Pakistan. He chaired a high-level meeting in London ahead of his UN visit. The move comes as Pakistan seeks to strengthen its economy and attract international partners.
Sharif highlighted agriculture, IT, minerals, tourism, and renewable energy as key sectors for foreign investment. He instructed ministers to prioritize actionable initiatives and set targets to achieve rapid results.
The Prime Minister emphasized the private sector’s role in Pakistan’s economic growth. He stressed collaboration between government and businesses to ensure successful implementation of investment projects.
Pakistan has formed the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) in 2023 to fast-track approvals in priority sectors. The government also seeks stronger trade and economic ties with Gulf countries and Central Asian Republics.
Sharif said the country aims for sustainable growth driven by exports and long-term financial reforms. He reiterated that attracting foreign investment and promoting trade remain central to Pakistan’s economic roadmap.
