ISLAMABAD, Oct 23 (APP):Ministry of Overseas
Pakistanis and Human Resource Development (OP&HRD) was taking various measures to provide all possible facilities to Overseas
Pakistan across the globe to invest for the prosperity and development of the country.
According to an official source, the government was committed to facilitate all business commu
nity of
Pakista
nis those are living abroad to invest in the homeland to boost the national economy.
The Government of
Pakistan attaches high priority to the overseas
Pakistanis and is keen to promote, nurture and sustain a mutually beneficial and symbiotic relationship between
Pakistan and Overseas
Pakistanis.
Overseas
Pakistanis can contribute much more than making foreign exchange remittances.
Their role in image building, transfer of technology, and investment growth is important and with sustained efforts Overseas
Pakistanis can produce tangible results.
Today, in
Pakistan, there are substantial investment opportunities with an active privatization initiative, large infrastructure-related investment projects (especially under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor), growth in local consumption and a largely untapped export potential.
With a massive diaspora of highly qualified
Pakistani executives and a large reserve of domestic talent, capital investing in
Pakistan is entering a sustained and rewarding phase. The growth and return potential in
Pakistan has yet to be unlocked by domestic and international investors.
To facilitate Overseas
Pakistanis for investment in
Pakistan, an ‘Investment & Facilitation Centre for Overseas
Pakistanis’ has been established at OPF, Head Office, Islamabad.
The IFC is mandated to respond to queries on all investment related opportunities, regulatory framework and incentives offered in
Pakistan.
