ISLAMABAD: Despite a global economic crisis caused due to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, Pakistan’s Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has jumped by 32% and recorded at $133.2 million in the month of April, announced the State Bank of Pakistan.
Various industries especially the ongoing projects in the telecommunication, power, and chemical sectors were the main areas where the multinational companies (MNCs) have poured in investments.
