All investors: ‘Pakistan ideal for investment’

Leading international publications have acknowledged Pakistan’s economic turnaround

CHICAGO:

Pakistan offers one of the world’s best investment regimes with equal opportunities for local and foreign investors in all sectors, Consul General Faisal Tirmizi said.

Speaking to a gathering of students, faculty and general public about the economic opportunities in Pakistan at the Center for Global Studies at Purdue University, Tirmizi said intensive efforts made by the government of Pakistan had led to robust economic growth in a short span of time.



“With a thriving middle class of 50 million, a per capita income of nearly $5,000 in terms of purchasing power and a huge workforce below 30 years of age, Pakistan is an ideal investment gateway to Asia,” he said.

The consul general pointed out that leading international publications, fund managers and ratings agencies had acknowledged Pakistan’s economic turnaround.



Purdue University Chancellor Thomas Keon expressed his desire to establish linkages with Pakistani educational institutions.
