Pakistani investors in ME urged to reinvest in Pakistan

LAHORE: S M Tanveer, Patron-in-Chief of the United Business Group (UBG) and leader of the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI), has called upon Pakistani investors to bring back their investments from the UAE’s real estate sector and reinvest in Pakistan. In a statement, Tanveer emphasised that it is high time for Pakistani investors to redirect their investments to their home country, rather than keeping them in a highly volatile region plagued by conflict. “Pakistan needs your support to achieve economic sustainability,” he said, appealing to the patriotism of Pakistani investors. Tanveer praised the efforts of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, saying that they have worked tirelessly over the past two years to rebuild Pakistan’s fractured economy. “Their dedication and commitment to the country’s economic growth are commendable, and it is now up to the business community to play its part,” he added.

Tanveer urged Pakistani investors to act swiftly and seize the opportunities available in Pakistan. “Your country needs your investment, your expertise, and your trust. Let us work together to build a stronger, more prosperous Pakistan,” he stressed. He said the business community is encouraged to reach out to the relevant authorities and explore investment opportunities in Pakistan. “Together, we can build a brighter future for our country,” he concluded.
