Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) has played a key role in Pakistan’s economic growth over the past three years by promoting investment and global partnerships in the mineral sector.
According to an official report today, significant progress in projects such as Reko Diq and Saindak has marked the beginning of a new era of mineral development. A national fund for the mineral sector, uniform regulations and a modern licensing system have been introduced to streamline the industry.
A major partnership has been established between Pakistan Salts and a Chinese company in the salt industry. In Azad Jammu and Kashmir, mining licenses have been restored after nearly two years, creating new investment opportunities.
Pakistan’s mineral exports have increased significantly with exports of copper, zinc, chromite and aluminum to China reaching record levels.
