Pakistan Seeks Foreign Investment in London

In a bid to draw foreign direct investment and bolster Pakistan’s economic position globally, Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb and the Prime Minister’s Adviser on Privatisation, Muhammad Ali, have traveled to London for a two-day visit. Their objective is to engage with prominent international financial organizations.

The delegation is slated to conduct meetings with leading global firms, including TTB Partners, STJ Partners, Deutsche Bank, Berenberg Bank, and Amundi Fund Group, according to a statement from the ministry of privatisation.

These discussions will center on outlining Pakistan’s privatisation strategy and identifying potential long-term strategic investment prospects within crucial sectors.

This trip is regarded as an integral component of the government’s broader initiative to strengthen economic relationships with key investors and encourage development driven by the private sector.

A significant aspect of the visit will be Muhammad Ali’s involvement in Pakistan Investors Day, hosted by Jefferies on May 8, 2025.

This exclusive event aims to highlight Pakistan’s economic capabilities, ongoing regulatory improvements, and dedication to establishing a business environment that is both transparent and appealing to investors.

Muhammad Ali stated, “This visit underscores Pakistan’s progressive outlook. We are here to foster confidence, cultivate alliances, and demonstrate that Pakistan is receptive to business, equipped with a well-defined plan for advancement, stability, and prospects.”

This initiative is part of the government’s continued efforts to enact structural reforms and enhance fundamental macroeconomic factors. By making key sectors accessible to foreign investment, the government intends to spur economic expansion and generate new avenues for job creation and innovation.
