Pakistan's economy is complex. There are some thriving industries and some that are struggling due to some of the corruption in the government. However, there are still lots of new business ideas for the people in Pakistan, as there are a lot of talented and skilled workers. From the footwear industry to providing meals to the poor and car parts manufacturing, there is a business idea in there for you.

The small business sector in Pakistan has the highest potential opportunity for self-employment among the educated youth of the country.

FDI in Figures

According to UNCTAD's 2020 World Investment Report, FDI inflows to Pakistan increased from USD 1,7 billion in 2018 to USD 2,2 billion in 2019. At the same time, the total stock of FDI stood at USD 34,8 billion at the end of 2019. FDI inflows in the first half of the 2019-20 fiscal year (July-December 2019) rose by 68.3% on the year to USD 1.34 billion, against USD 796.8 million in the same period last year (State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). Inflows were also at a 30-month high of USD 487 million in December 2019, mostly boosted by high Chinese investment. Flows were higher at the end of the year as the Pakistani government put an end to its year-long policy of letting the rupee depreciate against the US dollar and the political uncertainty has dwindled in the aftermath of general elections in July 2018. The financial sector is the primary recipient of FDI in Pakistan, followed by the chemicals industry and construction. In regards to countries, China is by far the biggest investor in Pakistan; however, recently, the United Kingdom, South Korea and Japan have stepped up their investments.

The potential attractiveness of Pakistan for investment remains lower than neighbouring India, but equal to Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Pakistan's attractiveness improves, albeit very slowly, against a backdrop of a challenging security environment, electricity shortages, and a burdensome investment climate also hinder investments. Pakistan was ranked 108th out of 190 countries in World Bank's 2020 Doing Business Report, up by 28 positions from a year earlier. This was mainly a result of significant improvement in getting electricity and handling of construction permits.

If you have the ambition to start a business in Pakistan, whether small, medium, or large scale; then the following sectors are the hottest right now and would remain hot for years to come:
