Mr. Jamil Ahmad Qureshi, a BS-21 officer of the Board of Investment (BOI) and Additional Secretary (Incharge) of the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) Division, has formally assumed the additional charge of Secretary, Board of Investment, on an immediate basis. The appointment was made under the Establishment Division’s notification dated October 5, 2025, and officially confirmed by the Government of Pakistan’s Board of Investment through a notification issued on October 6, 2025.
This development underscores the government’s focus on strengthening inter-institutional coordination and promoting cohesive leadership across key economic and investment bodies. The decision reflects a strategic move to align the functions of SIFC and BOI — two entities central to Pakistan’s investment promotion and facilitation framework.
In his statement, Jamil Ahmad Qureshi expressed gratitude and noted that the joint leadership structure represents the government’s recognition of the complementary roles played by both organizations. The arrangement is intended to streamline investment facilitation, policy coherence, and operational efficiency.
The Board of Investment will continue to focus on executing its mandate of promoting investment and facilitating investors, while SIFC will serve as a high-level, fast-track mechanism to accelerate investment proposals, enhance intergovernmental coordination, and support project approvals in priority sectors. Together, both institutions will act as two strategic arms of the government’s economic framework, advancing shared goals of attracting foreign investment and driving sustainable growth.
This unified leadership is expected to create stronger synergies between policy formulation and implementation, ensuring a seamless experience for both domestic and international investors. It also reflects the government’s broader economic vision of improving Pakistan’s ease of doing business, simplifying investment processes, and fostering public-private collaboration.
Through enhanced institutional harmony between SIFC and BOI, the government aims to strengthen investor confidence and accelerate the realization of strategic projects. The coordination between these bodies is anticipated to contribute significantly to Pakistan’s efforts to attract global investors, support industrial expansion, and stimulate economic recovery.
The appointment of Jamil Ahmad Qureshi to this dual role highlights the government’s commitment to policy continuity, efficiency, and reform in Pakistan’s investment landscape. His leadership across both SIFC and BOI is expected to further align Pakistan’s investment promotion mechanisms with national economic objectives, ensuring that institutional collaboration continues to support the country’s long-term development goals.
