Islamabad, The Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) has significantly contributed to enhancing the investment climate in Pakistan by implementing several key initiatives aimed at supporting investors and promoting business growth across various sectors.
According to Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, since its inception, the SIFC has introduced measures that have greatly benefited the investment community, particularly in the IT sector, where investors can now repatriate up to fifty percent of their profits. This policy has been pivotal in attracting foreign investments and boosting the confidence of business owners.
The establishment of the Office of the Investment Ombudsman has provided a crucial platform for resolving investor grievances efficiently, encouraging more robust investment activities. Additionally, the formation of Appellate Tribunals in the privatization and telecom sectors has further supported investors by offering legal guidance on investment-related issues.
The SIFC has also enhanced its digital presence by launching a website designed to facilitate investor interactions with government officials, provide essential information, and streamline services, thereby simplifying the investment process in Pakistan.
