News Desk

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Finance Minister Ishaq Dar has highlighted the vast investment opportunities available in the country’s mining and mineral sector, emphasizing its potential to significantly boost the national economy.

During a recent press conference, Dar stated that the government is committed to facilitating both local and foreign investors in tapping into Pakistan’s rich mineral resources.

He noted that the sector has been largely underdeveloped, despite the country being home to a variety of valuable minerals, including coal, copper, and gold.

“We are actively working to create a conducive environment for investment, which will not only enhance our mineral output but also create jobs and stimulate economic growth,” he remarked.

The implications of increased investment in the mining sector are substantial. It could lead to improved infrastructure, technology transfer, and enhanced export capabilities, thereby positioning Pakistan as a competitive player in the global minerals market.

Furthermore, the development of this sector is expected to contribute to the government’s broader economic strategy aimed at reducing reliance on external borrowing.

Looking ahead, the government plans to hold a series of meetings with potential investors and stakeholders to discuss regulatory frameworks and incentives.

Dar urged interested parties to engage with the Ministry of Finance to explore the various opportunities available, signaling a proactive approach to attracting investment in this critical sector.
