SBP Signals Stronger Economy as Pakistan Hosts First DFDI Forum

Written by Saliha Aziz | Apr 28, 2025 11:17:38 AM

We are looking towards a Pakistan that is capturing the attention of major global investors. The country’s macroeconomic fundamentals are improving, as per the recent high-level meetings between the State Bank of Pakistan Governor and major institutions like JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank, and Standard Chartered. This is setting a stable foundation for sustained growth.


At One Homes, we see these developments as more than just economic milestones. They are signs that Pakistan is strategically working to lock in its progress, creating new opportunities for overseas investors looking to build long-term value. And we are developing investment avenues for you to be a part of this momentum. 

A Clear Shift Toward Growth

The numbers tell a strong story:

  • Inflation dropped to a multi-decade low of 0.7% in March 2025.
  • Foreign exchange reserves have tripled since early 2023, without adding external debt.
  • GDP growth is projected at around 3% for FY2025.
  • External debt ratios have declined, strengthening Pakistan’s financial resilience.

These improvements show that Pakistan isn’t just recovering, it is actively positioning itself for stable, sustainable growth. For investors, this means a stronger currency environment, healthier domestic demand, and better long-term returns, especially in asset-backed sectors like real estate.

Hosting the Future: The DFDI Forum and Global Confidence

In a major step, the government is hosting the first-ever Digital Foreign Direct Investment (DFDI) Forum in April 2025, with participation from over 200 global companies and delegates from more than 30 countries.


While the forum focuses on attracting digital sector investments, its broader message is clear: Pakistan is serious about becoming a global destination for capital, innovation, and growth. High-profile delegations, including leaders from the UK’s tech and finance sectors, signal a rising international confidence in Pakistan’s direction.


For real estate investors, this matters. More international investment means more job creation, rising incomes, and expanding urban demand, especially in thriving hubs like Islamabad and Lahore. A growing, future-facing economy strengthens the fundamentals that make residential real estate a stable, appreciating asset.
