In a major initiative to boost foreign investment, the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) has decided to develop over 100 projects across various sectors in Pakistan.
These projects are being designed in collaboration with the international consulting firm, AT Kearney Middle East Limited.
During a seminar hosted by the German Pakistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry titled "Pakistan's Economic Outlook, Opportunities, and Challenges," the Secretary of SIFC highlighted that the council has been established as a "one-stop shop" to remove obstacles in business facilitation.
The initiative will provide detailed information for investments in sectors such as corporate farming, animal farming, and minerals. Furthermore, SIFC is working alongside the State Bank of Pakistan to simplify procedures for opening foreign currency accounts for international investors.
Investment opportunities in energy, including transmission lines and green energy projects, are also available under the SIFC's framework.
Pakistan and Germany are collaborating to enhance bilateral trade and ensure cooperation in promoting foreign investments. Both countries are committed to easing the investment process and benefiting both local and international stakeholders.
Due to the policies and business-friendly environment fostered by SIFC, the trend of direct foreign investment in Pakistan has seen a significant increase.
