Not every chapter of life is defined by the milestones we achieve, but by the meaning we discover along the way.

This sacred month is an invitation to pause the external noise and realign with what truly matters: faith, gratitude, and purpose.

Before we write our next chapter, we must first embrace the clarity that reflection brings.

He cautioned against the closure of the Board of Investment (BOI), warning that it could have long-term negative repercussions for Pakistan’s investment climate.

He also stressed the need for stronger coordination among the BOI, provincial investment boards, and the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC), with each institution performing its role effectively, and underscored the importance of a sustained, long-term investment strategy to strengthen Pakistan’s overall business and investment environment.
