SIFC Unveils New One-Window System to Streamline Business

News Desk
ISLAMABAD: In a major bid to revitalize economic activity and attract foreign and domestic investments, the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) has introduced a modernized ‘one-window’ facilitation system designed to expedite bureaucratic processes for investors and business owners. Under the newly implemented framework, all commercial applications and regulatory requests submitted through the portal will be processed and officially responded to within a strict 48-hour timeframe.
The initiative aims to dismantle traditional bureaucratic red tape that has historically hindered commercial growth and delayed project execution across the country. By centralizing bureaucratic touchpoints into a single, cohesive digital interface, the government seeks to eliminate procedural bottlenecks, enhance regulatory transparency, and significantly improve the overall ease of doing business in Pakistan.
Business community leaders and economic analysts have lauded the intervention, viewing it as a critical step toward restoring investor confidence amid ongoing macroeconomic stabilization efforts. Streamlining approvals is expected to accelerate foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, stimulate industrial productivity, and foster a more competitive corporate landscape capable of generating sustainable employment opportunities nationwide.
Authorities have confirmed that the newly launched digital infrastructure will undergo continuous performance monitoring to ensure compliance with the mandated 48-hour resolution window. Future phases of the initiative will likely integrate additional provincial and federal departments to broaden the scope of automated services and further simplify corporate compliance.
