With the support of the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC), Pakistan’s energy sector has witnessed a significant boost in foreign direct investment (FDI), reaching $585.6 million during 2024-25—a staggering 120% increase from $266.3 million during the same period last year. This growth has primarily been driven by investments in electricity, oil, and gas exploration.
This impressive surge not only highlights the potential of key sectors but also reflects the confidence of international investors in Pakistan’s economic landscape. According to the State Bank of Pakistan, other critical sectors have also experienced a 48% increase in FDI, with investments climbing to $771 million.
SIFC’s efforts to streamline processes and expedite project execution have been pivotal in achieving this progress. By focusing on energy and other vital sectors, as well as fostering regional trade, Pakistan is emerging as a hub for investment, paving the way for sustainable economic growth.
