Pakistan has witnessed a significant 56% rise in total foreign investment during the first four months of the current fiscal year, surpassing the $1 billion mark, according to the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP).
The SBP report revealed that foreign investments during this period amounted to $1.09 billion, reflecting an increase of $392.3 million compared to the $697.8 million recorded during the same period last year.
Direct investment also experienced notable growth, rising by 32.3%. The total volume of direct investment stood at $904.3 million from July to October, a substantial increase of $220.8 million from last year’s $683.5 million.
Economic analysts attribute the uptick in foreign investment to improved investor confidence and government efforts to stabilize the economy.
