During the first eight months of FY 2024-25 (July-February), China maintained its leading position as Pakistan’s top investor. With a net investment at $661.8 million, China accounts for 40.9% of Pakistan’s total net FDI, marking a 285% y-o-y increase.
The Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) attributed the surge in FDI to the success of financial reforms, pro-business policies, and streamlined facilitation. Key initiatives such as regulatory simplification, improved ease of doing business, and sector-specific incentives have strengthened investor confidence.
