Islamabad: The government is making concerted efforts to promote development and investment in the industrial sector of the country, with the support of the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC).

According to Radio Pakistan, the establishment of Special Economic Zones is anticipated to usher in a new era of industrial development and investment. These zones have been crafted on modern lines to attract investors and advance the industrial sector. The primary objective of these zones is to enhance export potential, reduce the trade deficit, promote economic security, and provide direct access to three billion customers in the global market, including western countries.

The availability of abundant raw materials and infrastructure in these Special Economic Zones is considered vital for the development of the industrial sector. These zones are projected to create more than five hundred thousand job opportunities by 2028. They are also expected to provide unique opportunities for forming trade agreements aimed at boosting global exports.
