ISLAMABAD: The Overseas Investors Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OICCI) has released its Business Confidence Survey 2025, revealing a significant surge in foreign investor confidence in Pakistan’s economy. According to the report, 73% of foreign investors expressed satisfaction with their investment experience in Pakistan — a notable increase from 61% in 2023.

The report credited the improvement to macroeconomic stabilization, better international credit ratings, and the strengthening of the Pakistani rupee. A sharp decline in inflation — from 37% to 4% — also contributed to the positive sentiment among international investors.

The OICCI survey highlights that more than three-fourths of global investors consider Pakistan a reliable destination for future investment, citing improved coordination through the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) as a major factor in enhancing investor confidence.

OICCI President Yusuf Hussain noted that the SIFC has established a structured mechanism for promoting investment and ensuring inter-governmental alignment, helping to accelerate economic reforms and attract new foreign capital.

The survey further indicated that Information Technology (IT), agriculture, energy, pharmaceuticals, and export-oriented industries remain the most attractive sectors for foreign investors.
