The Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC)’s efforts to attract international investors to Pakistan are proving successful, as the council’s effective strategy has restored global confidence in key sectors, including agriculture, mining, energy, and information technology.
According to details, planning for an economic corridor between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia is underway, aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and Pakistan’s developmental priorities. Following their historic defense agreement, both nations are now considering the establishment of a Pakistan-Saudi Economic Corridor, marking a new chapter in their bilateral partnership.
The partnership is expected to serve as a vital link between South Asia and the Middle East through Gwadar Port, creating a new milestone in regional connectivity. The proposed corridor, modeled after the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), aims to open fresh opportunities for growth, investment, and industrial collaboration.
Economists believe the initiative will boost regional investment, generate employment opportunities, and facilitate the transfer of advanced technology. Pakistan’s exports to Saudi Arabia have already surpassed $700 million in the current fiscal year, while Saudi investors have expressed strong interest in agriculture, mining, energy, and IT sectors.
Experts further noted that the new agreement will provide long-term confidence to investors and pave the way for projects in corporate farming, dairy, and meat production.
Through this partnership, the Government of Pakistan and SIFC have intensified their efforts to strengthen economic stability and expand international investment.
