Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz on Wednesday said Pakistan offers attractive opportunities for investment and provides a level playing field for business without making any distinction between local and international investors.
Talking to CEO of Infospan Farooq Bajwa, a major US based IT company, who called on him at his chamber in the Parliament House, he said Pakistan offers excellent margin of profitability and enabling environment committed to facilitating investors.
He said Pakistan was ideally suited for investment as it has growing middle class with comparatively low cost of production, competitive wages and a large pool of young people with excellent skills and proficiency in English language.
He said Pakistan's economy of 130 billion dollar was growing at around 7 percent consecutively for the last three years and a per capita income of 647 and expressed determination to maintain this growth rate.
CEO of Infospan said the economic turnaround achieved by Pakistan was impressive and the company was keen to expand its operations in Pakistan.
He said the company already has a 300-seat call centre in Islamabad, which was doing well and they plan to expand it to Lahore and Karachi.
