KARACHI: The foreign investment in the country would cross the mark of five billion dollars. This was stated by the Director General of Board of Investment (BOI), Arif Illahi, while talking to a Sri Lankan delegation here.

He said that the foreign investment of such magnitude would be a golden chapter in the country’s history.

Illahi pointed out that owing to the investment-friendly policies being pursued here, Pakistan has emerged as a centre for foreign investment.

He said that more than 600 foreign companies are successfully engaged in business activities in the country.

BOI DG further stated that owing to the business-friendly policies of the present government, more foreign companies would start their business activities.

He said that because of a high rate of return and availability of educated labour force at appropriate remunerations, Pakistan is being chosen as a place for doing business as compared to other countries.●
