Five reasons why you should look at Pakistan

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.
