Pakistan's Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) sharply declined by 34 percent in FY26, reaching $1.637 billion compared to $2.477 billion in FY25, as reported by the SBP. Gross FDI inflows were $3.568 billion, offset by $1.931 billion in outflows, while portfolio investment saw a net outflow of $595 million. Overall foreign investment, including FDI and portfolio flows, plummeted 74 percent to $451 million from $1.746 billion in the previous fiscal year. This significant reduction in foreign inflows could exert downward pressure on the Pakistani Rupee, potentially increasing local gold prices.
