\nAdvisor to the Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Information and Public Relations, Barrister Dr. Muhammad Ali Saif, has emphasized the province\u2019s vast investment potential across multiple sectors including trade, mining, industry, and tourism. Speaking at the first Prosperous Pakistan Conference held in Nathia Gali, Dr. Saif assured that the KP Government is committed to protecting both investors and their capital.
\nThe conference was attended by key figures such as KP Finance Advisor Mr. Muzzammil Aslam , provincial assembly members, Secretary for Industries and Commerce Mr. Masood Ahmed, prominent business leaders from across Pakistan, foreign diplomats, and a large number of women entrepreneurs, said a handout.
\nDr. Saif noted that the event marked a significant step towards attracting local and international investment to KP and boosting economic activity in the province. \u201cWe are reforming business regulations to facilitate investors and eliminate bureaucratic delays. KP is open for business,\u201d he said.
\nDuring the conference, the KP Board of Investment and Trade (KP-BOIT) presented a comprehensive briefing to potential investors, highlighting initiatives like the online KP-BizHub one-window operation. This platform will integrate all regulatory departments by the end of the year to simplify business processes, especially in Special Economic Zones.
\nDr. Saif acknowledged the catastrophic floods that recently struck parts of KP, causing unprecedented human and infrastructure losses. Over 393 lives have been lost, 1,700 buildings damaged, and key infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and river embankments destroyed. Despite the devastation, the private sector\u2019s continued interest in investing in KP has been termed \u201ca mark of patriotism and resilience.\u201d
\n\u201cInvestors are not just welcome; they are needed,\u201d said Dr. Saif. \u201cWe urge them to take calculated risks in underdeveloped areas and play a role in economic revival. This is a national cause.\u201d
\nHe also called out the federal government for what he described as a lack of meaningful cooperation, especially in matters of peace and disaster recovery. \u201cWhile we are striving to restore peace and rehabilitate affected communities, the federal response has been dismissive,\u201d he added.
\nThe KP Government has already allocated Rs. 4 billion for immediate relief operations. Compensation packages include Rs. 2 million for families of deceased flood victims and Rs. 500,000 for the injured. Affected residents are receiving online cash transfers to meet essential needs, and rehabilitation efforts, including the reconstruction of homes, are being led under the direction of Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur.
\nBarrister Saif also criticized what he called the environmental irresponsibility of the federal leadership, citing the felling of trees in areas like Dongagali allegedly for personal construction projects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
