Chief Executive Officer of the Pakistan Furniture Council (PFC) Mian Kashif Ashfaq on Sunday said that Pakistan, with its youthful population, expanding digital infrastructure, and strategic location at the crossroads of South Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East, stands as a potential magnet for global investment.
Chairing a meeting of the PFC Board of Directors, he said the key to unlocking this potential lies in creating an enabling environment that ensures transparency, predictability, and long-term policy continuity. Structural reforms in taxation, governance, and ease of doing business can significantly enhance investor confidence, he added.
Mian Kashif emphasized that sustainable infrastructure, renewable energy, and digital transformation are crucial sectors that align with global investment trends and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles.
He highlighted that Pakistan’s emerging tech ecosystem, agricultural potential, and growing industrial base offer immense opportunities for both domestic and foreign investors.
He said by fostering public-private partnerships, supporting SMEs, and investing in human capital through education and skill development, Pakistan can achieve inclusive and accelerated growth.
“If Pakistan successfully translates its strategic advantages into coherent economic policy and sustained reforms, it can become one of the world’s most attractive emerging markets,” he said, adding that commitment, continuity, and vision are essential. “By doing so, the nation will not only unlock prosperity for global investors but also create a brighter, more resilient future for its people and generations to come,” he concluded.
