Reforms agenda being pursued

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Board of Investment (BoI) is committed to implementing the reforms agenda that would modernise institutions and enhance foreign investment in the country. “We want to introduce one-window operations in special economic zones (SEZs) to facilitate local and foreign investors,” a senior official of BoI told APP on Monday.

He added that three SEZs have become operational and started production while the remaining six would be rationalised by June, 2019. Replying to a question, he said the National Industrial Parks (NIP), a development and management company, would develop the planned SEZ in Islamabad.

“We require around 50 acres of land to develop the SEZ in the federal capital that would provide an equal opportunity and facilities to foreign and local investors,” he said.
