Corruption is the biggest hurdle to attract investment: PM Imran

Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that Overseas Pakistanis have as much wealth as Pakistan's GDP but the biggest hurdle to attract investment of overseas Pakistanis was corruption.

Addressing the launching ceremony of 'Roshan Apna Ghar' program for overseas Pakistanis on Friday evening, the Prime Minister termed overseas Pakistanis as huge asset of the country. He said unfortunately, potential of the overseas Pakistanis has never been tapped.

Imran said overseas Pakistanis wanted to build their home in Pakistan but land mafia was a nuisance for them as it illegally occupied their plots of land.

Under the Roshan apna ghar scheme, he said banks were guaranteeing the plots purchased by overseas Pakistanis.

He said sustainable economic growth would be achieved with the money invested by the expatriates.

“We are reforming the system to bring in investment of the overseas Pakistanis.”
