Islamabad: Preparations have been completed to introduce the National Minerals Harmonization Framework at the Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum 2025 with the support of the Special Investment Facilitation Council. The federal government, in collaboration with provinces, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan, has devised this framework to create a uniform regulatory structure.

According to Radio Pakistan, compatible laws and favorable policies will be introduced to promote investment in the mineral sector of the country. The policy has been developed by incorporating suggestions from Chief Secretaries, Chief Ministers, and mining companies. The Framework aims to develop environmental protection, safe mining, and the promotion of international partnerships as the country’s mineral resources are worth over six trillion dollars, offering unparalleled opportunities for investors.

Tax incentives, fast-track licensing, and dispute resolution mechanisms are likely to be introduced to encourage investment. The government is committed to projecting Pakistan as a global mineral investment hub with the support of the Special Investment Facilitation Council.
