Aurangzeb highlights opportunities to foreign investors

Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb asked foreign investors on Wednesday to explore fixed-income investment opportunities in the economy. During a meeting with a delegation of international investors, led by JP Morgan Pakistan CEO Amin Mohammad Khowaja, the minister highlighted the significant strides Pakistan has made in improving its macroeconomic indicators — including a 14 per cent rise in exports, a fall in inflation to 9.6pc, and an overall decline in the current account deficit. He also emphasised the improvement in Pakistan’s sovereign credit ratings, a testament to the country’s stable and promising economic outlook. The minister’s confidence in Pakistan’s economic growth, underpinned by robust fiscal discipline, inflation management, and a favourable balance of payments, is a source of optimism for potential investors.
