Pakistan's net foreign direct investment (FDI) declined by 34 percent to $1.64 billion in FY26 from $2.48 billion the previous year, with gross inflows falling 16.4 percent to $3.57 billion and outflows rising 7.8 percent to $1.93 billion. China remained the largest source, but investment from it, Hong Kong, and the UAE decreased, while significant net outflows were recorded from the US ($156 million) and Norway ($364.7 million). This sustained weakness in foreign investment could put further pressure on Pakistan's external account and the Rupee, potentially making imported gold more expensive.
