PM Kakar urges investors to benefit from ‘improved’ economy
Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar has urged British businesspersons to take benefit of the improved economy and the government’s investment-friendly policies and invest in Pakistan. Mr Kakar, who is on a trip to London, met prominent British-Pakistani investors on Monday and invited them to invest in the Special Economic Zones, according to a press release issued by the PM office. He highlighted positive economic indicators resulting from “reforms undertaken by the caretaker government”, including a strengthening rupee, reduced inflation and ease in import restrictions. He spoke about the investment-friendly policies and Special Investment Facilitation Council , which, he said, will streamline investment in key sectors through a single-window platform. The council has been formed to enhance ease of doing business, remove bureaucratic hurdles and create a long-term investment roadmap, the statement added, while quoting Mr Kakar.
