The virtual investor roadshow organized by Standard Chartered Bank in collaboration with the Debt Management Office and the Ministry of Finance and Revenue has been described as attracting historic global attention.
According to sources, Adviser to the Federal Minister of Finance Khurram Shehzad said that the roadshow was attended by 225 investors, making it one of the largest, most diverse, and institutional investor gatherings for Pakistan in recent years. He noted that, for the first time, such a large number of real global investors came together on a structured and joint forum.
Sources said that in a statement shared on the social media platform X, Khurram Shehzad mentioned that the roadshow was led by Federal Minister for Finance and Revenue Muhammad Aurangzeb along with his team. They presented Pakistan’s emerging investment story, based on economic stability, structural reforms, external validation, and an improving economic outlook. Clear guidance was also provided regarding upcoming funding from external markets, including details on expected RFPS.
The participants were mostly foreign institutional investors, including global asset managers, pension funds, insurance companies, investors associated with sovereign entities, corporate institutions, high-net-worth individuals, and multilateral financial institutions. This representation indicates that the interest was not speculative but rather a serious long-term assessment of Pakistan’s economic and reform trajectory.
Investors joined from major financial regions worldwide, including North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. Notably, some of the world’s largest and most influential asset managers, overseeing assets worth over $35 trillion collectively, were among the attendees. According to Khurram Shehzad, this participation is a strong signal that Pakistan is gaining the attention of global investors willing to allocate real capital.
