5 Reasons to Invest in Pakistan

In Pakistan, lucrative investment opportunities are abundant. Located in South Asia, this country has a ton of geostrategic advantages. Above all, low competition and a quickly rising economy are only two of the advantages that have piqued the curiosity of international investors. Despite its size, it is still relatively unknown among overseas conglomerate organizations and investors.

And all credits to the giant volume of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) in the form of CPEC, Pakistan has started to welcome investments already; from overseas Pakistanis, MNCs, as well as from countries. 

What are the reasons which are compelling investors towards Pakistan? And what is the high return investment in Pakistan? Here is the answer for you.

1. Geo-strategic Location

With a total area of 881,913 km² (including GB and Baltistan), it has the best strategic location in the world. It is resource-rich and located at the junction of South Asia, West Asia, and Central Asia; the world's most resource-rich region. Pakistan is land of lowlands, mountain ranges, deserts, 4 seasons, and a coastal strip. 

Moreover, It also serves as a gateway to the energy-rich Central Asian states, the financially stable Gulf states, and the economically advanced Far Eastern countries like China, Korea, and Russia. It is also at the edge of a warm water port and across the major sea routes of the world. Pakistan is a market brimming with opportunities simply because of its strategic advantage. It is strategically located for oil pipelines and international trade, and this alone makes Pakistan a major participant in regional politics, with an influence that will only become greater as the country develops. 

2. Human Resource and Population

Population boom comes with several unprecedented issues but from the business perspective, it can be a blessing in disguise. The People's Republic of China is an example of that. They made their people their strength and as a result, the world shifted all of their production units in the country due to the availability of cheap labor, bringing economic boom, and today China is the second world economy in the world. 

Pakistan is also a blessed country in terms of human resources and using this, it is fully capable of making any investment a low costing but a high return investment in Pakistan. There are millions of people in the country who can be employed unlocking thousands of business opportunities. Fifty-five percent of the country's population is under the age of 19, has a substantial middle class, and a sizable proportion of the workforce is fluent in English; diligent, and intellectual. Pakistan's literacy rate has also improved significantly in the past 2-3 decades and now the country has a significant pool of well-trained and experienced engineers, bankers, attorneys, doctors, business graduates, and other professionals, many of whom have extensive international experience as well. 

3. Relatively Less Competition

Unfortunately, political instability; war on terror; and unwise policies over the course of history affected the investments most. Despite all the potential, these factors always make investors hesitate to put their money in the country. There is a common perception that the Pakistani market is a challenging environment for international investors; an improving market but unpredictable and challenging. This has always kept the competition low in Pakistan.

But now the country's conditions have improved visibly, unlocking several opportunities for potential investors. Over the past 5 years, the country received some major investments like CPEC but still, there is a wide market opportunity to fill. Pakistan has a one-of-a-kind mix of a massive and fast-increasing population and economy, as well as the government's active participation in eliminating entrance barriers for international businesses.

This is not to say that establishing a successful business in Pakistan is simple; far from it. Making an investment now,  the investors have a golden opportunity to arrive ahead of the opponents and get a high investment return in Pakistan.

4. China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC)

CPEC is the way forward towards a prosperous Pakistan. It is opening doors for every business i.e. for real estate, industries, transportation businesses et cetera. This Billions dollar investment is also an indicator for other investors that Pakistan is a totally safe country for all sorts of investment ventures. 

And besides that, now the Government of Pakistan is quite welcoming to foreign direct investment (FDI). To encourage greater FDI, the government has made it easy to launch a business in the country and has provided many investment incentives to international investors.

5. Economic Growth

According to Goldman Sachs IncPakistan's economy has the potential to become the world's greatest economy in the twenty-first century.

According to Harvard University, Pakistan's GDP will grow at a 5.07 percent annual rate during the next decade. As a result, a bountiful influence on the economy means more productivity and a higher number of openings. More residential real estate is required to accommodate both immigrants and natives migrating for work. As a result, providing investors with advantageous options.

Ever since the country's conditions are stabilizing, the economy is experiencing significant GDP growth. As a consequence, Pakistan's GDP expanded by 5.28 percent in 2017, making it one of the world's fastest growing emerging economies. Textiles, clothing, agriculture, and real estate are among the primary industries contributing to this expansion. Furthermore, Pakistan is one of the world's Next Eleven (N-11) countries. So, in this economy, high returns on investments are guaranteed.
