Meanwhile, Pakistan’s efforts to lure foreign capital suffered a major setback in the first half of the current fiscal year, as overseas investment flows weakened sharply amid rising geopolitical tensions in the region. Foreign direct investment (FDI) fell by 43 per cent between July and December of FY26, raising concerns about the sustainability of external financing.
