Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has instructed Pakistani embassies around the world to actively facilitate foreign investors as part of a renewed push for economic growth. He issued the directive while chairing a review meeting in Islamabad on economic governance reforms. The prime minister stressed that attracting investment is critical for stability and long-term development.
He directed embassies to act as the first point of contact by creating early awareness and providing investors with complete guidance and facilities. According to him, overseas missions must clearly present Pakistan’s investment opportunities in key markets. As a result, better information flow will help build investor confidence.
Meanwhile, the prime minister ordered relevant ministries to finalise recommendations for domestic and foreign investment without delay. He also asked for sector-wise development projects with clear targets and timelines. He emphasised that institutional and administrative support for investors remains a top government priority.
Furthermore, Shehbaz Sharif highlighted the importance of export promotion alongside investment growth. He said development projects should directly support exports and economic expansion. Therefore, ministries must align reforms with practical and measurable outcomes.
The prime minister also stressed strong coordination among federal ministries and close cooperation with provincial governments. He urged equal focus on industry, agriculture, and other key sectors. According to him, balanced development is essential to attract sustainable investment.
During the meeting, senior officials briefed the prime minister on ongoing reforms and development projects. He directed them to ensure synergy between provinces and federal institutions. The meeting was attended by cabinet members, provincial chief secretaries, and senior government officials.
