KARACHI: Foreign direct investment (FDI) fell by 31 per cent during the first 10 months of the current financial year, reflecting Pakistan’s continuing struggle to attract foreign investors.
April proved particularly disappointing for the government as total FDI inflows during the month stood at just $54 million compared to $179m in the same month last year.
Interestingly, FDI from China in April was higher than the total net inflow for the month, standing at $61m. This was because several countries withdrew investments while others invested during the month.
During July-April, FDI inflows stood at $1.409 billion compared to $2.035bn in the same period of FY25, showing a decline of 31pc.
