Pakistan Explores Investment Fund for Overseas Pakistanis in $6.5bn PPP Projects

Federal Minister Ahad Cheema has directed authorities to fast-track 38 public-private partnership (PPP) projects across railways, highways, power, and airports. The government aims to unlock private and overseas Pakistani capital for these schemes amidst growing financing needs. Officials are exploring an investment fund or similar mechanism to offer transparent and commercially attractive avenues for overseas Pakistanis to invest in national infrastructure. This initiative seeks to channel overseas savings into productive assets, potentially strengthening Pakistan's long-term economic stability. While this move aims to bolster national financing, its immediate impact on USD/PKR or gold rates is expected to be gradual rather than sharp.
