The Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC), a collaboration between military and civilian authorities, is concurrently exploring avenues to secure approximately $7 billion from Saudi Arabia, offering the kingdom stakes in the Reko Diq project. Policy incentives under the Greenfield Refinery Policy 2023 have received approval, with expectations that Saudi Arabia may acquire stakes in the Reko Diq project through a transaction model involving the Saudi Wealth Fund. Additionally, the lease of 85,000 acres of land for agriculture corporate farm to foreign investors is under consideration. The SIFC aims to expedite critical infrastructure investment through a transaction pipeline, utilizing government-to-government (G2G) arrangements for energy, minerals, agriculture, and IT. Recent G2G transactions, including the one between Karachi Port Trust and AD Ports, UAE, signify a commitment to fast-tracking arrangements for the privatization of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs). The SIFC also plans to explore technology-driven investments to enhance productivity in the country.
