Despite government’s efforts to attract investors in Pakistan, we failed to bring in more private investors other than China. Recently, Ex-Chairman, Board of Investment Haroon Sharif conducted a study titled as Leveraging Private Investments for Pakistan’s Sustainable Development: Pakistan SDG Investment Report 2021 on United Nation’s request.
Haroon Sharif in an interview with Matrix Media said that Pakistan has an investment opportunity of 100 billion dollars. The report recommends that Pakistan needs to launch a project development facility to attract private sector and this should be isolated from the politics and government sector. Moreover, he said that the projects should be given operational autonomy so that the investors get encouraged to invest in Pakistan.
