A day earlier, Naqvi urged the business community to repatriate some of the wealth held abroad, estimating that almost $100 billion has been taken out of the country in the last three or four years.
Addressing business leaders in Karachi, the minister said that if traders act decisively, up to $10 billion could return to Pakistan before the next budget.
He encouraged investors to use existing financial channels, including Roshan digital accounts, to recover 20% to 30% of their offshore funds.
Naqvi assured the business community that the government would provide a more enabling and business-friendly environment, emphasizing that Pakistan offered some of the highest investment returns globally.
“If you invest in Pakistan, the level of profits available here is unmatched anywhere else in the world,” he said.
The minister revealed that a proposal was being prepared to introduce a special passport for real businessmen, similar to official and diplomatic passports. The proposal will be presented to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif soon.
“The initiative aims to alleviate visa-related challenges faced by legitimate traders, particularly when traveling to countries such as China, the United States, Europe and the United Kingdom,” he added.
