Incompetence a big reason behind Pakistan’s economic crisis | M Azfar Ahsan (Chairman BOI)

A significant reason for the economic crisis facing the country currently is incompetence, and under the current circumstances, doing business in Pakistan is no less than jihad. Investors need handholding and assurances, whereas the investment climate in the country lacks both facilitation and consistency. This was stated by Muhammad Azfar Ahsan, former minister of state and chairman, Board of Investment (BoI), as a keynote speaker at a roundtable titled ‘Pakistan’s Investment Climate: The Way Forward’, which was held at IPS on January 19, 2023.
