Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has directed all ministries to submit a $20 billion investment strategy for 94 key projects as part of the country’s new five-year economic plan.
Sources told ProPakistani that each ministry will submit detailed proposals for investment in these projects, which will then be presented to Gulf countries for potential funding.
Sources said the federal government will hire financial advisors to assess the viability of these projects. Interested Gulf nations will review the proposals with these advisors and invest in projects they find appealing and financially viable.
The investment opportunities will include projects from the Ministries of Energy, Petroleum, Planning, Board of Investment, Water Resources, and Industries & Production.
The Prime Minister has instructed the economic team to focus on increasing foreign investment per year and to boost external investment opportunities as part of his broader five-year economic plan.
Sources added the final investment plan will be integrated into the Prime Minister’s economic agenda and publicly announced in the coming weeks.
