Pakistan draws $5 billion GCC investments in 2009

Sharjah, the United Arab Emirates, April 29, SPA -- Pakistan has
attracted investment worth $5 billion in the Gulf Cooperation Council
(GCC) states in 2009, Pakistan’s Federal Minister for Investment
Waqar Ahmad Khan said during a recent visit to Sharjah, accompanied
by a trade delegation.


“Our economy is moving on the right track as we are able to attract
foreign investment, especially the GCC investments. We have improved
the business infrastructure in our country and provided all the
required facilities to investors. This coupled with a wealth of
untapped investment opportunities can make Pakistan an ideal
investment destination,” Khan was quoted as saying by the
Jeddah-based Saudi Gazette.
