Foreign Direct Investment in Pakistan Plunges by 43% in First Half of FY26

The net Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the country stood at $808 million in the first 6 months of FY2025-26, down 43 percent year-on-year (YoY) compared to the FDI of $1,425 million in the same period last year.

According to the latest data from the State Bank of Pakistan, the country’s net FDI in December 2025 reported outflows of $135 million, compared to a net inflow of $180 million in November 2025.

The largest net outflow to FDI this month was from Norway of $376 million in the IT sector. According to Topline Securities, this was due to Telenor’s exit from Pakistan following the sale of its assets to PTCL.

The brokerage house expects FY26 FDI to clock in at $2.5 billion.
