ISLAMABAD: The federal government has supported the launch of over 4,100 new businesses, attracting over Rs6.6 billion in investment and creating over 20,000 jobs.

These milestones have been achieved through the Business Facilitation Centre (BFC), said Fed­e­ral Minister for the Board of Investment Qaiser Ahmed Sheikh on Monday.

Highlighting these ach­ievements, he reiterated that the centre’s core ob­­jective remains to actively stimulate business activity, foster a favourable investment climate, and facilitate the widespread creation of employment opportunities across the country.

He expressed these views while evaluating the BFC’s one-year performa­nce.
