Dr. Shahid Hassan Siddiqui (Economic Expert): In result of successful economic policies, the government has created investment friendly environment in Pakistan. Therefore, more and more international investors seem inclined to invest in Pakistan. Moreover, Pakistan’s strategic power gave a humiliated defeat to India in last year’s war and it has lifted Pakistan’s positive image in the world. The government has offered attractive incentives to foreign investors in mines, energy and other sectors. But India is creating law and order issue in collaboration with Afghan regime just to send a message to the world that conditions in Pakistan are not suitable for foreign investment. SIFC has made enormous efforts to convince foreign investors to Pakistan. Foreign investors see reduced bureaucratic red-tape, corruption and other hurdles in the foreign investment in Pakistan. However, opposition political parties must also avoid creating unrest in the country in the name of political agitation
Dr. Zahid Maqbool (Economic Expert): In think that Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb in a meeting with Director of the IMF’s Middle East and Central Asia Department, has raised very crucial and important points regarding economic uplift of Pakistan. Bangkok is very close to China and it may produce very positive and good news for Pakistan. Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb is very responsible person and always highlights positive points and issues related to Pakistan’s economy. Now his meetings with international fiancé managers are very important regarding attracting foreign investment in Pakistan. Foreign investors are giving a lot of importance to investment friendly policies and environment created by the government in the country so they seem keen to invest in Pakistan
