August 20, 2025 (MLN): The power sector emerged as the largest recipient of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Pakistan for July 2025, attracting $70 million, which accounted for 34% of total inflows, according to data issued by the Central Bank.

Although this marked a 26% YoY drop from July 2024, the sector maintained its dominance, indicating its continued strategic importance in Pakistan’s investment landscape.

The financial business sector brought in $59m, up 8% YoY, securing a 28% share of total FDI.

This steady growth reflects investor confidence in Pakistan’s banking and financial services amid macroeconomic reforms.

Food sector saw a remarkable 336% surge, reaching $11m, driven by rising interest in agribusiness and food processing.

Trade posted a 51% increase, totalling $5m, while Oil & Gas Explorations recorded zero inflows, down from $20m last year.

Tourism plummeted 77%, attracting just $1m, while Electronics saw a net outflow of $1m.

Total FDI in July 2025 reached $208m, up 7% from $195m in July 2024.
