Special Assistant to CM on Industries Commerce & Technical Education, Government of KP

To address global challenges and enhance international competitiveness, the KP Government has established the Hattar Special Economic Zone and the Rashakai Prioritized Special Economic Zone, which are now attracting substantial investments. These SEZs are significantly transforming the industrial landscape of the region. Additional SEZs are being planned, which will foster the creation of industrial clusters, offering liberal incentives, infrastructure facilities, tax reliefs, and investment facilitation services. This will enhance productivity and simplify business operations through a one-window operation.

The existing economic zones under the management of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Economic Zones Development and Management Company (KPEZDMC) have experienced significant improvements in ease of doing business, transparency, and infrastructure rehabilitation. Through the efforts of KPEZDMC, investments amounting to billions of rupees are being facilitated into the province, resulting in the creation of thousands of jobs for the people of KP. The efforts of KPEZDMC in attracting investment to KP are highly commendable.
