Pakistan expects net Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to jump by about 60% in FY18 but some western investors have appeared to be put off by China’s growing influence in the country. Chairman BoI, Naeem Zamindar, said that some Western investors have appeared reticent because of an incorrect perception that Chinese companies would get exclusive advantages and concessions that would not allow for an even playing field. While talking to Reuters, he cleared the country’s stance that Pakistan wants investor of all hues to come in and participate in building its economy, whether American, English or Japanese.
