Sindh government’s commitment: Enhancing investor confidence and economic stability

Karachi, December 24, 2024: Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon has said that there are vast investment opportunities in the country, as Pakistan is rich in natural mines and minerals. The government has relaxed the visa policy for foreigners, and the priority of both the federal and Sindh governments is to encourage investment in every sector. Foreign investors must be provided with facilities for business and residence to increase their confidence, so that not only Pakistanis but also international investors invest in Pakistan. The Sindh government has also invited international investors for Tharparkar coal, with delegations from many countries, including China, having visited Pakistan. Positive changes have been brought to Pakistan, and further changes must also be made in our attitudes and style of governance.
Speaking to the media at the opening ceremony of the 18th Build Asia Exhibition at Expo Center Karachi, Sindh Senior Minister and Provincial Minister for Information, Transport, and Mass Transit Sharjeel Inam Memon said that they want the government to provide facilities to the business community, modern technology should be used to offer services to businesspeople, and a reliable environment must be provided to foreign investors and businesspeople.
He said that steps must be taken to support the business community, and an environment needs to be created to attract investment from abroad. Investors are being provided facilities through SIFC, and if the business community is given these facilities, their confidence will increase.
Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon said that Pakistan has many investment opportunities, and the PPP and Sindh government welcome the business community. The priority of both the federal and Sindh governments is to encourage investment in every sector. The government has simplified the visa policy for foreign investors, and more facilities must be created for these investors. He added that SIFC plays an important role in ensuring economic stability in the country.
He said that Pakistan has many investment opportunities, and we can take our products to the international market in a better way. The Sindh government is bringing a big surprise, and the announcement will be made soon.

In response to a question, Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon said, “We consider every person living in Sindh as Sindhi. We also consider our Urdu-speaking brothers as Sindhi, and we ourselves say that they are our Urdu-speaking Sindhis.”
In response to another question, Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon said, “It is the priority of the federal and Sindh governments to increase investor confidence. Yutong has assured us that it will set up a manufacturing plant in Sindh. When the plant is established, the people here will get employment. The Sindh government established the Dhabeji Special Economic Zone to promote investment. This is the most modern Special Economic Zone in Pakistan and the only one that is part of CPEC. This is the vision of President Asif Ali Zardari, the creator of CPEC, and under this vision, Pakistan’s first Special Economic Zone has been established.”
He said that the Sindh government is coming up with a huge mega project, which is the latest project in Pakistan. The PPP government in Sindh is going to start it, and it will be a big surprise. It will also be great news for businesspeople. After this project, Pakistan will enter a new era.
In response to another question, Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon said, “Riots were organized here to transfer capital out of Sindh. The Sindh government has controlled other major crimes, including terrorism. We want to create an environment where business institutions that left can come back. Whether it is Punjab or Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, we have no objection to investment anywhere in Pakistan, but every businessperson believes that, even today, the most suitable places to set up a factory in Pakistan are Karachi, Dhabeji, or Nooriabad. Karachi has a port for exporting anything. Under a conspiracy, business was shifted out of Karachi. With our efforts, investors and businesspeople from all over the world will come to Karachi.”
In response to another question, he said, “Yesterday, the government held talks with the opposition in a positive atmosphere. The Pakistan Peoples Party has been saying from day one that the solution to all kinds of contradictions in the world is dialogue. PTI used to say, ‘We will talk to him but not to him,’ but PTI has now come to the table. They came late, but they came correctly. In incidents like May 9, we also want those who were complicit in such incidents to face the consequences of their actions. There have been international objections to military courts, but this is an internal matter of Pakistan, and no one needs to interfere in Pakistan’s internal affairs. Providing basic facilities is the vision of the PPP. The Sindh government spent more than one billion dollars on Thar coal, and today electricity from Thar coal is going to the national grid. We want electricity to be affordable for everyone, and we aim to promote people’s businesses. The Sindh government is playing its role in every sector.”
In response to another question, Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon said, “Some people are sitting at the negotiating table, while others, like Arif Alvi, are engaging in political intrigues. They do not want negotiations to take place, they want their leader to remain in jail, and they want their businesses to continue.”
In response to another question, Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon said, “Heavy traffic in Karachi is a big challenge. I request the license issuers to check these issues before issuing licenses.”
After speaking to the media and giving a brief speech at the panel discussion at the Expo Center, Senior Minister of Sindh Sharjeel Inam Memon said, “It is an honor for me to be a part of the panel discussion. From industrialists to laborers, everyone’s livelihood is linked to construction work. We want to keep investors stable and safe, and we are also working to bring foreign investment to Pakistan. The law and order situation has improved, and now all kinds of investors can invest in Karachi. I assure you that any problems that arise will be resolved by the Sindh government.”
