Shakil Ramay (Economist): The Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) is a good initiative. It has the power to make decisions and implement it. The role of bureaucracy is vital in this regard. Similarly, the will of the current government is also critical to pursue this undertaking. When the foreign investors come to our country, we have to make proactive decisions and implement them. Another crucial factor is sustainability of policies. Moreover, a secure environment for trade and commerce is crucial for the foreign investors. A conducive and secure environment should be provided to the foreign investors.  

Farooq Adil (IR Expert): The Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) is a positive development for the future of Pakistan. Decisions relating to politics and the economy have impacts on us. Therefore, the right decision should be taken at the right time. All institutions should be on the same page to get the state out of crisis situation. They should make robust and proactive decisions. We should move toward a new social contract. The SIFC initiative is admirable and we would gain various advantages from it.
