Leading U.S. Investors Look Towards Pakistan's Emerging Market.

Ambassador Masood Khan has said that the emerging market of 220 million people with its unique geo-economic location serves as an ideal destination for the US investors and business community not only to undertake profitable business ventures within Pakistan but also to relocate their value chains to Special Economic Zones of the country for exports to Gulf region, West Asia, Europe and Africa.

This he said during his meeting with a delegation of Institutional Investment, a top-notch US investment company that includes banks, credit unions, government-linked companies, pension funds, charities, hedge funds, REITs, investment advisors, endowments, and mutual funds as its clients.

'We are committed to offer international investors all possible support and a congenial environment to explore the untapped potential of a huge market and rich human capital. Our focus on promoting export-oriented industries in Special Economic Zone has created opportunities for win-win solutions for our two countries', stated the Ambassador while talking to leading U.S. investors.

Ambassador Masood Khan underscored the need for sustaining the existing momentum to build robust economic partnerships. 'The success stories of U.S. firms operating in Pakistan like Abbott, Coke, PepsiCo, P and G and Cargill etc., provide a solid basis to broaden our ties,' continued the Ambassador. He pointed out that Pakistan's export to the U.S. have shown a steady increase.

Given availability of a large number of IT professionals and skilled manpower, the U.S. firms could use Pakistan's HR for businesses process offshoring in the field of IT, software development, accounting and healthcare management system etc. 'The U.S. corporate sector could reap tremendous dividends by manufacturing their products in Pakistan and exporting them to its neighborhood,' stated the Ambassador.
