Board of Investment (BoI) Chairman Wasim Haqqie on Tuesday said that a large number of foreign investors were coming to Pakistan due to liberal and open investment policy. Talking to a private TV channel, the BoI Chairman said, "Pakistan with very liberal policies for the investors is the best place for both foreign and domestic investment." Pakistan's investment policy was one of the most liberals and open in the region, hence the people from Malaysia, Middle East, Europe and United States were coming for investment, he added.

He said the foreign investment ratio in the country had been improved due to the effective policies of present government and strives of Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz.

There were more than six hundred multinational companies operating in Pakistan and doing very well business over the last ten years, he said.
