Chambers Global Practice Guide for “Investing In… 2022”

Pakistan: Trends & Developments

We were privileged to contribute to the Pakistan chapter of the “Investing In… 2022” guide published by Chambers and Partners. The chapter discusses noteworthy recent regulatory reforms and policy interventions to encourage investment in startups, fintech, manufacturing, public-private partnerships and special economic zones in Pakistan.

A wide range of topics are covered, including greater flexibility for businesses and foreign investors enabled by regulatory reform by the SECP and the State Bank of Pakistan, the prospect of increased financial inclusion presented by the digital bank regulatory framework of the SBP, improved access to capital markets for SMEs offered by the GEMS board of the Pakistan Stock Exchange, increased openness to innovation through the regulatory sandbox of the SECP and broader activity in PPPs including in the healthcare, education, technology and public transportation sectors.
