The construction industry in Pakistan consumes 80% of National Development
Budget. Fiscal constraints require innovative approaches - away from the
traditional mode of financing by the Government. Accordingly, the GoP has
assigned top priority to developing low income housing under Private-Public
partnership/Joint Venture. Public Private Partnership (PPP) is considered to be
the way forward for development and delivery of infrastructure leveraging
private sector financing and expertise. The construction industry had a total value
of approx. USD 3.78 billion in 2012 and this value is expected to rise to around
USD 10.4 billion by 2020.

5. Relevant policies of GoP ( for public Organization)
Investment Policy has been designed by GoP to provide a comprehensive
framework for creating a conducive business environment for the attraction of
local and foreign investors. Pakistan's policy trends have been consistent, with
liberalization, de-regulation, privatization, and facilitation being its foremost
cornerstones. The Law of Special Economic Zones has been made to meet the
global challenges of competitiveness. The law allows creating industrial cluster
with liberal incentives, infrastructure, investor facilitation services to enhance
productivity and reduce cost of doing business for economic development and
poverty reduction. The Law further envisages reducing processes through SEZ in
Pakistan.

7. Government initiatives in the relevant area/ Sector
China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) envisages projects in energy and
infrastructure, with a total financial outlay of around US$ 46 billion. Special
economic zones are also underway to facilitate the investors.
8. Market size, Strength and competitive advantages in the relevant
area/Sector supported by statistical data
It is estimated that Pakistan looses approximately 4% to 6% of its GDP due to
infrastructural constraints. With the population of the country rising at a rate of
four million per annum, there is a need of 650,000 housing units annually.
However, only 350,000 units per year are being added, leaving a shortfall of
300,000 per annum, which represents a significant investment
opportunity. Rising level of urbanization inclined to increase from 34.9% in 2005
to 50% by 2035, as estimated by United Nations, provides ample development
opportunity in the sector.

Investment Projects/ Opportunities in the relevant area/ Sector
supported by statistical data
The mineral wealth of Pakistan contributes meagerly in GDP (3 percent). This is
due to application of outdated management techniques, inadequate capital and
antique technical know-how besides unsatisfactory law & order situation in the
areas where major bulk of our mineral resources lie. Mining and quarrying sub-
sector contains 13.88 percent share of the industrial sector. This subsector
witnessed a growth of 1.34 percent in FY17 as compared to 6.86 percent last
year. Slate, Calcite, Bauxite, Ocher, Sulphur, Chromite, Marble, Coal, Quartz,
Gypsum and Lime stone posted a positive growth rate of 138.32 %, 116.25 %,
60.27 %, 55.22 %, 42.62 %, 30.14 %, 22.84 %, 18.68 %, 12.69 % and 8.47 %
respectively.
