Dubai to invest over $30b in Pakistan
BY ISAAC JOHN (Chief Business Reporter)

1 June 2006



DUBAI — Leading Dubai business groups including Emaar and Dubai World yesterday announced in Islamabad investment commitments totalling more than $30 billion, which along with some $4 billion investments already committed by Etisalat and DP World recently, will account for nearly one-third of Pakistan's gross domestic product (GDP) of $118 billion.


This phenomenal investment plans by Dubai groups in various property and industrial projects also signal the dawn of a new era of foreign direct investment flow into Pakistan, which last year attracted only $2 billion in FDI.

In addition to the investment programmes unveiled by Emaar and Dubai World, Dubai Islamic Bank yesterday also committed an investment to its operations in Pakistan, and said it will open 70 branches in the next 18 months. A Memorandum of Intent was signed between DIB and the State Bank of Pakistan to open the branches in the next 18 months.

The landmark investment commitments, made during the visit of His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai, comes close on the heels of an upgrading of Pakistan’s foreign-currency ceiling by two notches from B2 to Ba3, by Moody’s, and an upbeat economic forecast of 8 per cent growth made by Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz on record foreign investment and rising consumer spending. While Emaar Properties will spend $20.4 billion in real estate development in Karachi, Dubai World unveiled a $10 billion investment plan across different industries including infrastructure developments, industrial and real estate projects.

Yesterday, Emaar signed $18 billion accord with Port Qasim Authority to build a mixed-use development comprising homes, hotels and golf courses in Karachi, and announced three real estate developments in Islamabad and Karachi involving investment of $2.4 billion. These developments include a series of master planned communities that will set new benchmarks in commercial, residential and retail property within Pakistan.

Islamabad is home to two Emaar Pakistan projects — the Highlands and Canyon Views. With 1,500 acres between them the Islamabad communities offer 9,000 luxury single-family town homes and villas in a range of architectural styles with easy access to amenities including retail centres, community club houses, parks, lakes, schools and mosques.

Karachi will be home to Crescent Bay, a 75-acre development featuring high- and mid-rise towers for residential and commercial use, a shopping centre and five-star beachfront hotel. The towers will contain approximately 4,000 residential apartments.

Mohammed Ali Alabbar, Chairman, Emaar Properties said Pakistan represented a vital link in Emaar's global and regional plans.

"These current projects are only a small and initial part of our commitment to providing world-class living and infrastructure in Pakistan. Pakistan will play an important role in the development of Emaar's reputation in Asia, and remains one of our most significant commitments outside of the UAE," Alabbar said.

Dubai World's projects include construction of a modern waterfront off the Karachi coastline, besides the management and development of Pakistani Ports. DP World has already made a commitment of $1.6 billion to develop Gwadar Port. Early this year, UAE's telecoms giant Etisalat concluded a landmark $2.6 billion acquisition of a 26 per cent stake in Pakistan telecoms firm PTCL.

Pakistan's economy expanded 8.4 per cent in the year to June, the fastest pace in two decades. Pakistan's long-term foreign-currency rating was raised in November 2004 by a level to B+, or the fourth non- investment grade, by Standard & Poor's, after lowering to within two levels of default status in October 1998 after the country tested nuclear weapons and attracted sanctions including a ban on aid and loans from countries in Europe and the United States. Now Pakistan has foreign-exchange reserves of $13 billion, helped by record overseas direct investment of $3 billion in the 10 months to April 30.





And some more!!

Dubai World to set up $10b projects
1 June 2006



DUBAI — Dubai World's $10 billion investment in Pakistan involves the construction of a modern waterfront off the Karachi coastline, besides the development and management of Pakistani ports.


Yesterday, two agreements were signed between UAE and Pakistan — the first aimed at developing infrastructure and building commercial and industrial real estate projects. The second agreement was targeted at building free zones and modern ports which will be managed by DP World, the region's leading port and terminal operators.

Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman of Dubai Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation and Chairman of Nakheel, said Dubai World was targeting massive investments in various sectors including real estate projects in main cities across Pakistan.

Well considering its a USD 30 Billion investment, its certainly going to be more than just a few officials and more than just a merc or two..

Anyways, great news for Pakistan and I hope we can see the fruits of such investment over the next few years.

Imagine the jobs which will be created for the construction of all these massive projects all over the country! Should bring unemployment down massively and raise our GDP per capita income.

The pace of development in Karachi has really picked up over the last few months. The new nazim Syed Mustafa Kamal is really proving his worth. There is a website, Skyscraper City Forums where you can get info about almost each and every infrastructural,economic, social development taking place in Pakistan.

$30b is really huge money considering pakistans GDP around $100b..n the thing to note is most of it wud go for infrastructure projects which wud benefit pakistan in long run...I belive one way pakistan get a competetive edge over India is by improving its infrastructure quickly ,idealy comparable to the shanghai's n Dubai's which is realastic as cities n pakistan r relatively smaller compared to india's!

errrrm not entirely true

Wikpedia link

karachi is right up there at the top woith mumbai as the most populous city in the world ( in fact it lags only by 500,000 ppl which it might cover up in a decade or two )

and in terms of area the Pakistani cities mentioned in that link are on average 5- 7 times bigger than their indian counter parts

This is really nice to hear. However it would be nice if we'd have investment in other areas apart from real estate. How about some factories or industries for a change :-)

i quoted from wikipedia link that was mentioned in the post above

and it put karachi at 12.2 million and mumbai at 12.7 miilion roughly but perhaps those were out dated stats or perhaps an underestimate of the population

Its a small town on the Balochistan coast line which is being converted into a deep sea port. It is touted to be the saviour of Pakistan and will provide an economics boom for Pakistan.

The port is almost complete and the entire city is being developed using state of the art planning and stuff.

In the future, Gwadar will become a regional hub for and thus generate extensive revenues for Pakistan.

Point is, its great.
