SECP has intensified its efforts to attract foreign investment by organizing an online awareness session for Pakistani diplomatic and consular offices in Africa. The initiative, conducted in collaboration with MOFA, follows a successful event held for representatives in the European Union.
The session aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of Pakistan’s investment landscape, highlighting the recent reforms undertaken to create a conducive business environment. SECP officials elaborated on the ease of doing business in Pakistan, emphasizing the streamlined company incorporation process, support for startups, and investor-friendly exit mechanisms.
Participants from Pakistan’s missions in Rabat, Algiers, Tunis, Tripoli, Djibouti, Addis Ababa, Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Port Louis, Harare, Pretoria, Kigali, Kampala, Abuja, Niamey, Accra, Abidjan, and Dakar attended the session. They were briefed on the specific requirements for foreign investors, including document attestation procedures.
SECP’s proactive engagement with the diplomatic community is a testament to its commitment to facilitating foreign investment in Pakistan. By providing detailed information about the country’s investment climate, SECP aims to attract a larger pool of foreign investors and contribute to the country’s economic growth.
Both the SECP and MOFA have expressed their intention to organize similar sessions in the future to further strengthen Pakistan’s investment profile.
