LAHORE: Islamic Corporation for the Development of Private Sector (ICD) and Punjab Board of Investment and Trade (PBIT) joined hands on Friday to attract investors from Organisation of the Islamic Conference member countries to pursue economic growth.

Under the agreement, the ICD will help PBIT find source investors for the projects that are in pipeline. Moreover, a Cooperation Framework Agreement will be designed as well between the two organisations to strengthen sustainable and inclusive development in the country and support the country’s economic growth and social uplift.

“It is a dire need of the hour to join hands and bring foreign investment to Pakistan,” PBIT Chief Executive Jahanzeb Burana said while giving a presentation to ICD Director Aamir Husain Khan.
