ISLAMABAD: (Mudassar Iqbal) – Federal Minister for Finance and Revenue Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb on Monday launched the InvestPak Portal in Karachi, reaffirming the government’s commitment to facilitating local and foreign investors and expanding access to investment opportunities.

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, the finance minister congratulated Jameel Ahmad, Governor of the State Bank of Pakistan, on the initiative. He described the portal as an important step towards a new phase of investment and digital financial services in Pakistan.
