Dr. Shahid Hassan Siddiqi (Economist)

China has invested a heavy amount of 25 billion dollars in the China Pakistan Economic Corridor project. China has opened new venues of connectivity through Belt and Road Initiative and the need of the hour is to take maximum advantage of it. The caretaker government is taking right measures through mobilization of tax and attracting foreign investment in different projects. The government should also motivate the local investors to invest in CPEC. The upcoming government should ensure the continuity of economic policies in the best interest of the country. The Russian conflict with Ukraine and Israeli aggression on Gaza created uncertainty in the international market. Once the situation becomes normal, I am hopeful for heavy foreign investment in our country.
