ISLAMABAD:
British minister for trade will lead a delegation of top British companies to Pakistan to seek investment opportunities in energy, infrastructure and other emerging sectors, informed the British Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Common Wealth Office Tobias Ellwood. The visit will take place in February. “I am particularly pleased to announce that UK Export Finance (UKEF) - the UK’s official export credit agency - is resuming support for export finance loans to government and other public agencies in Pakistan,” said Ellwood. “It has increased the amount available to support UK trade with Pakistan to around $300 million from just over $200 million. These changes signal a recognition that economic conditions in Pakistan have improved, following the country’s successful engagement with the IMF,” he added.
