]Until India does not allow free and fair Pakistani investments as well as refund of all money with profit it annexed in the 60's.[/B]

Pee Pee Pee has wreacked the national economy and now it want want to sounds like it has accomplished something in friendship with india by auctioning off the country to its adversary. At this momemt, even Pakistani industrialist are pulling their investments out of market so how can Indian be ever confident in ivesting in a most anti-india country???

This is another one of PPP attempt to cover their blunders..just like how Bhutto wreacked the national economy with his socialist obession then begged the GCC countries to rescue our economy by exporting Pakistani manpower to build gulf oil boom!

Huh? When did this happen in the 60s?

And let me get this right - you want India to pay you so you can allow India to invest in your country????

India willing to invest at least $20b in Pakistan


LAHORE: Indian investors have shown willingness to invest $20 billion to 50 billion in Pakistan’s mining, petroleum, energy, power and infrastructure projects. Pak-India Business Council (PIBC) Chairman Noor Muhammad Kasuri said that there are several big investors in India interested in exploring opportunities in Pakistan. Kasuri returned from India on Tuesday after a fortnight visit and having meetings with the Indian business community.
He added that the Indian private sector has also shown eagerness to export electricity to Pakistan through Wagah-Attari border and can lay electricity lines within months for this purpose. At the Nuclear Security Summit in March, India had formally offered Pakistan 5,000MW of electricity during a brief meeting between Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh and Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani.
After enhancement in trade ties, opportunities for big projects like gas pipeline project between Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India will further increase. He stated that access and acceptability for Pakistani products in Indian markets has been improved after recent initiatives to improve relations between both governments.
PIBC Chairman also examined that India has developed infrastructure in tourism, information technology, agriculture, business and industrial fields and Pakistan can take advantage from Indian experiences.
Moreover, Pakistani businessmen and industrialists should avail opportunities in this regard through hard work and honesty. PIBC has also suggested to governments of both the countries to establish joint industrial and economic zones.


‘India willing to invest at least $20b in Pakistan’ – The Express Tribune

India is welcome to invest the capital, same as all the local and foreign banks do.

Projects shall be done locally.

Mining & Energy sector shall be closed for Indian banks/investors, while investment in manufacturing and export sector shall be allowed.

Iran-Pakistan pipeline can be used as a test case of (only) capital investment.

The first wave of investments will, possibly, come in areas where there is not going to be a bigger capital outlay. Reason, India is next door and goods can be moved across the border, where there are already plants in place. One possiblly would see increase in investment in existing Pakistani business by taking stake. For example, media and financial intermediaries. You could also see investment in any of the two wheeler manufacturers. The only places, where, first wave investment may go directly to capital outlay will be fertilizers, energy and gas. It will be interesting to see if anybody invests in any of the Fmcg companies and meat companies. Btw, who are the big players in pak in the fmcg segment?

India will not risk, as of date, investing in the Iran Pakistan pipeline because of sanctions which will automatically fall in place cause of the same.

India owes us this money from '47.

 

[IceCold]

in which sectors would you like to see indian investment???

Energy sector for one. i would like to see TATA setup its plant in Pakistan. And this is just the start, there are many other areas Indians can explore, steel for example. I believe an Indian company was interested in our steel mill.

On the basis of what?

 

[yyetttt]

On the basis of what?

You guys were unfair with money and only gave Pakistan 20% of the India budget and resources.

50-50 simple

I am not sure how well you are versed with economics but i hope you do know that if Indian corporates invest in Pakistan then their sole aim to make profits, right??? If you agree then i am sure you can understand that they will only invest in those sectors where they can make loads and loads of $$$... I don't think I-P pipeline is a good investment especially in current geo-politics...

50-50 simple

.... but don't you think that is unfair??? Why would there be 50-50 sharing when the area and population was not divided 50-50??? The wealth and resources belonged to People of India before partition. After partition a new entity came into being i.e Pakistan. Thus resources should have been divided keeping the population/area of both the nations which is what was done....

 

[clmeta]

Why 50-50??? India was 6 times bigger than Pakistan. Pakistan would have got nothing had it not been for Gandhiji.

50-50 simple

hmmmmmmmmmm...........i think TISCO might be interested to invest in the steel sector

50-50 simple

we had much larger area and much greater population.......50-50 would not have been fair

we had much larger area and much greater population.......50-50 would not have been fair

so 20-80 is fair right?
