Pakistan will host the Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum 2025 in Islamabad on April 8-9, providing a platform for global investors to explore opportunities in the country’s vast mineral reserves.

Backed by the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC), the forum aims to highlight Pakistan’s gold and copper reserves, offering a lucrative opportunity for international investors. Officials believe that investment in the mineral sector will not only boost exports but also contribute to long-term economic stability.

The government has taken a series of policy measures to streamline investment in the sector, including the National Mineral Harmonization Framework, which seeks to simplify regulations and enhance transparency.

The forum will also shed light on these reforms, outlining the government’s vision to make mineral resources a key driver of economic growth.

Industry experts, policymakers, and investors will discuss mining development, exploration opportunities, and modern technologies during the two-day event. Additionally, an exhibition will showcase the latest advancements in the field, aiming to attract leading international mining companies to Pakistan.

Pakistan’s mineral-rich landscape, particularly its gold and copper reserves, has long been underutilized due to regulatory challenges and lack of investment. However, with SIFC’s facilitation and recent government reforms, officials are optimistic about unlocking the sector’s full potential.

Observers believe that the forum will serve as a turning point in Pakistan’s quest for economic self-reliance, as mineral exports could significantly reduce the country’s trade deficit. The government remains committed to positioning Pakistan as a key player in the global mineral market by ensuring a business-friendly environment for investors.
