Members of the Overseas Investors Chambers of Commerce and Industry (OICCI) have indicated positive investment plans for next few years, despite issues of security, access to energy, recent Pak rupee depreciation adding to the cost of doing business and governance issues.
This is amongst key findings of the 2013 Perception and Investment survey launched today by OICCI. The survey is based on feedback only from foreign investors who are members of OICCI. The previous similar survey was launched in February 2012.
Kimihide Ando, President OICCI, has emphasized that the survey findings should be taken seriously as they represent the collective view of the foreign investors who play a leading role in Pakistan’s economic growth by contributing over one third of the total annual tax collection in the country. The OICCI represents investors from 35 countries that have a presence in 14 sectors of Pakistan’s economy.
