Pakistan’s net Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) reached US$214 million in February 2026, up from US$173 million in January, according to the latest data.

However, over the first eight months of FY26, net FDI totaled US$1.195 billion, representing a 33 percent decline year-on-year, highlighting a slowdown in foreign investment inflows compared to the same period last year.

The largest contributors to the FDI in this month were China ($151.2 million), Hong Kong ($32.6 million) and Switzerland ($18.6 million).

By sector, the Power, Electronics, and Financial Services industries received the bulk of foreign investments, securing significant capital to support ongoing projects and business expansion in Pakistan.

While February showed a modest monthly increase, the overall decline in FDI for FY26 signals a need for stronger investor confidence and policy stability to attract larger foreign inflows.
