There are a lot of reasons to be looking at Pakistan
as a potential investment opportunity at the moment.
There are challenges, but there are also a lot of opportunities.
The five things in my mind at the moment would be:
Number one, Pakistan now allows 100% foreign ownership.
Number two, the recent devaluation of the Pakistani currency
has resulted in Pakistani assets being much cheaper
for dollar buyers.
Number three, Pakistan has one of the largest domestic markets
in the world; there are more than 220 million people in the country.
Number four, there are lots of opportunities around
the China-Pakistan economic corridor, which in itself is expected
to be in excess of 60 billion dollars over the next few years.
Moreover, the Gwadar Deep Sea port also has a lot of opportunities
to offer for investment.
Number five and perhaps most importantly,
Pakistan has a growing technology start-up scene
from ride hailing, last-mile delivery, Ed Tech, Health Tech,
logistics and of course e-commerce,
the industry is booming and this may be the right time
to look at opportunities in that space.
