PAGE: What is your standpoint on investment opportunities in Pakistan?
Muhammad Mujtaba: Pakistan is an untapped powerhouse of potential. Despite its challenges, I believe the real story here is resilience of the people, the businesses, and the young entrepreneurs who are building with very little but dreaming very big. From a strategic lens, Pakistan offers serious opportunities in manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, IT services, e-commerce, and natural resources. The population is young, mobile-first, and hungry to learn. If investors take the time to understand the culture and ground realities, they’ll find that Pakistan isn’t just a market it’s a growth partner for the future.
As someone who operates businesses globally, I can say that the cost-to-value ratio here is unmatched, and with the right approach, returns can be both high-impact and sustainable.
PAGE: How would you describe the investment policies in Pakistan?
Muhammad Mujtaba: Pakistan’s investment policies have seen progress in recent years — from tax incentives for exporters to relaxations for tech startups, and initiatives around Special Economic Zones and digitization. But to be transparent there’s still a long road ahead. Policies are often promising on paper but struggle in execution due to bureaucracy, inconsistent regulation, or lack of long-term vision. That said, the willingness to reform is there. What’s needed now is a stable policy framework with faster implementation, investor protection, and a clear digital-first mindset. If the government partners more closely with business leaders and diaspora professionals, Pakistan can absolutely position itself as a serious investment destination.
PAGE: What are your recommendations for investors?
Muhammad Mujtaba: First- build relationships before balance sheets. Pakistan is a relationship-driven market. Investors should take time to understand local partners, cultural sensitivities, and the ground game.
Second- diversify intelligently. Don’t just chase headlines like tech or real estate. There’s huge potential in agriculture technology, clean energy, export manufacturing, and logistics infrastructure.
Third- go long-term, not short-term. Pakistan rewards patience. The economic cycles can fluctuate, but well-grounded businesses here often survive and scale better than expected.
Lastly- I encourage investors to focus on creating value, not just extracting it. When you invest in people and skills, your returns come back multiplied not just in money, but in long-term trust and market influence.
PAGE: What is your perspective on investment vis-a-vis GDP growth in Pakistan?
Muhammad Mujtaba: Pakistan’s GDP growth potential is significant, but it’s only fully realized when investment flows into productive, export-driven, and technology-enabled sectors not just real estate or short-term trades. We need more investment that builds capacity: in manufacturing, education, clean tech, local industry, and digital infrastructure. That’s what fuels real GDP growth not just on paper, but in jobs, income, and global competitiveness. As someone who runs both physical product companies and digital platforms, I see how investment in the right industries- especially with a global export mindset- directly uplifts GDP, employment, and local ecosystems.
