America Eyes Pakistan’s $8T Mineral Market – Reports Financial Times

3 July, 2025
Table of Contents

    Pakistan is on the cusp of a transformation—and this time, it’s not just policy circles taking notice. According to the Financial Times, high-level conversations are underway between Islamabad and Washington exploring strategic mineral partnerships. For a nation long viewed through the lens of aid or instability, this is a dramatic shift.

     

    Why This Story Matters

    Pakistan’s mineral wealth—valued at an estimated $8 trillion—has remained largely untapped. From antimony and copper to rare earths essential for tech, batteries, and clean energy, the country’s resource base holds immense global relevance. But for decades, the barriers to unlocking this value have been systemic: underinvestment, infrastructure gaps, and lack of global integration.

    The FT now reports that U.S. officials are engaged in discussions around mineral tokenisation and supply chain cooperation, part of a broader effort to reshape economic ties beyond defence.

    If realised, this would mark a new chapter in Pakistan’s global positioning:

    • From risk to resource.

    • From bailouts to bilateral trade.

    • From underdeveloped to underpriced.

     

    A Local Vote of Confidence: The Marina View Deal

    While the FT report hints at what’s to come, Karachi has already seen it begin.

    In June 2025, HBL Asset Management acquired Marina View Tower, a landmark commercial property in Clifton—Pakistan’s prime urban corridor. The deal, brokered by Savills Pakistan, represents one of the largest institutional transactions in recent years.

    What it signals:

    • Institutions are deploying capital at scale.

    • The commercial real estate market is regaining credibility.

    • Global real estate players are operating and expanding locally.

    This isn’t anecdotal. It’s actionable.

     

    What This Means for Overseas Investors

    Rare earth minerals and real estate might seem unrelated—but they’re deeply connected. When institutional capital enters a country through infrastructure or minerals, it rarely stops there.

    It flows into:

    • Cities.

    • Residential developments.

    • Long-term investment opportunities.

    The same dynamics that attract foreign firms to tokenised minerals are the ones that strengthen local currency, build infrastructure, and fuel appreciation in property markets.

    For One Homes clients—especially those watching from the U.S., UK, or UAE—this is your signal:

     Pakistan is re-entering the global capital conversation.

    Not through slogans—but through signals that global institutions are once again looking East.

     

    The Smart Money Moves Early

    Pakistan’s mineral sector currently contributes just 3.2% to GDP. But with foreign dialogue intensifying, institutional deals picking up, and $8 trillion in potential beneath the surface—this may be the start of a decade-long upward cycle.

    At One Homes, we’re not just tracking these signals—we’re building for them. Because when capital moves in, it builds homes, cities, and futures.
