Islamabad: The federal government of Pakistan is set to unveil the National Minerals Harmonization Framework at the Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum 2025, aiming to create a unified regulatory environment to boost investment in the mineral sector. This initiative is supported by the Special Investment Facilitation Council and involves collaboration with provincial administrations, as well as authorities in Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.

The framework seeks to introduce compatible laws and favorable policies designed to attract investors by promoting environmental protection, safe mining practices, and fostering international partnerships. With the country’s mineral resources valued at over six trillion dollars, the government sees significant opportunities to attract global investment.

The policy framework was developed through consultations with Chief Secretaries, Chief Ministers, and mining companies, ensuring a comprehensive approach to the sector’s needs. Proposed measures include tax incentives, expedited licensing processes, and streamlined dispute resolution mechanisms, all intended to make Pakistan an appealing destination for mineral investments.

The government, with assistance from the Special Investment Facilitation Council, is committed to positioning Pakistan as a global hub for mineral investment, leveraging its vast natural resources to foster economic growth and development.
