Pakistan has registered a substantial 34 percent year-over-year increase in overall foreign investment, which reached 273.7 million dollars, according to the latest figures released by the State Bank of Pakistan.
According to an official report today, the data indicates a significant improvement in foreign direct investment (FDI), which climbed to 178.9 million dollars in October of this year, compared to 145.9 million dollars recorded in the same month last year.
This upward trend in capital inflow is attributed to the efforts of the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC), whose facilitation measures are credited with boosting investor confidence and creating new opportunities for business and economic expansion.
For the first four months of the current fiscal year, foreign investment was recorded at 747.7 million dollars, further underscoring the positive momentum. China, the United Arab Emirates, and Hong Kong were the leading sources of investment during October. China secured the top position with a direct investment of 2.38 million dollars.
The State Bank data suggests that the nation”s economy is on a positive and stable growth trajectory, with the tendency of foreign capital inflows reflecting growing international confidence in Pakistan.
