Recent developments, including a defence cooperation pact with Saudi Arabia, the Gaza ceasefire, and a Saudi investment delegation\u2019s visit, have also helped reduce geopolitical uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While analysts welcomed the positive inflow trend, they cautioned that net foreign investment in government securities remains modest. Sustained inflows, they said, could help improve market liquidity and signal growing investor confidence if macroeconomic stability continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also pointed out that some Pakistani firms have recently relocated operations to Dubai, citing high domestic electricity costs and weak internet infrastructure, underscoring the need for improved competitiveness to retain and attract capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Economists say the continued participation of foreign investors in the T-bill market may offer short-term relief to Pakistan\u2019s balance of payments and help stabilise the rupee, though long-term recovery will depend on structural reforms and consistent policy measures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Karachi: Foreign investment in Pakistan\u2019s treasury bills (T-bills) rose sharply in October, reaching USD 118.6 million, the highest monthly inflow so far in the current fiscal year (FY26), according to data released by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP).
