Investor-Friendly Reforms

Energy & Renewables Transformation

Pakistan is expanding solar and wind capacity using affordable Chinese batteries (3–19 GW imported annually). Industrial projects like Lucky Cement’s 20.7 MW energy storage system showcase renewable integration.

Mining Mega-Projects

The $9 billion Reko Diq copper gold mine—co-owned by Barrick and Pakistan—launching by 2028, promises ~200,000 tonnes of copper yearly, and generating $74 billion in free cash flow over 37 years. The project invites U.S., Saudi, Canadian, and Japanese investment
