Board of Investment (BoI) Chairman Haroon Sharif resigned from his post on Wednesday. Sharif in his brief discussion with a private news channel confirmed that he had sent his resignation to Prime Minister Imran Khan. The premier had appointed Sharif as chairman of the BoI in October. Sharif had replaced Naeem Zamindar, who was appointed by the previous Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz government. He received recognition from international financial institutions for promoting investments and working in close liaison with government officials to boost confidence. The BoI is an investment promotion agency that assists companies planning to invest in Pakistan and those planning to expand their existing Pakistani operations.
