ISLAMABAD: The 200-member Global Investment Consortium (GIC) is planning to invest around €50 billion on a public-private partnership (PPP) basis in different mega projects of Pakistan.
“We have been pretty much successful in convincing hedge funds to consider, in principle, raising enormous funds to channel into government projects in Pakistan,” said GIC Regional Associate Muhammad Irfan Ali.
