Real estate has become the focus of foreign investment
Pakistan has a rather generous policy on foreign investment.
With the influx of a large number of foreign funds, lucrative and high-return
real estate has quickly attracted the attention of foreign investors. Large
numbers of companies in the Gulf countries that hold huge oil dollars are
eyeing the Pakistani real estate market and many of them have entered this area
by forming joint ventures with local companies. In addition, many companies in
Thailand, Singapore and other places also showed their strong interests and
came to inspect them one after another.

Pakistan and China have already started a five-year economic
and trade cooperation framework. To speed up economic development, Pakistan has
identified some important areas including real estate as Chinese investment
targets. In recent years, Chinese enterprises have invested in real estate
projects in Pakistan as well. According to the media reports, about 20 Chinese
companies said they would invest in the recently proposed Haier-Ruba Economic
Zone. In addition, Punjab has already allocated as much as 200 hectares of
industrial land to Chinese investors in Faisalabad. The industrial complex
worth 4.25 billion rupees (about 70 million U.S. dollars) will be the country's
largest industrial park.
At present, foreign investment in Pakistani real estate is
also mainly concentrated in star hotels, office buildings and shopping malls
and other large facilities. However, analysts believe that the government
should encourage and guide foreign investors to invest funds in low-cost
housing projects to ease the growing shortage of housing in Pakistan. Chinese
companies are also taking the lead in seizing this opportunity. At present, a
Chinese company is planning to participate in the project of building over
10,000 housing units for low-income people.
