It heartening to know that in terms of investment climate indicators Pakistan has been found to be a better place than the rest of South Asia. According to a recent survey conducted by the World Bank, the red tape in Pakistan is less time-consuming than in other South Asian countries as it takes only 24 days to register a firm in Pakistan to Bangladesh's 35 days, Sri Lanka's 50 and India's 89 days. And in losses from electricity outages Pakistan's average of 6.5 per cent is much better than India's 10 per cent. However, it is not with South Asian countries alone that Pakistan is competing for foreign investment, which is being courted by the entire world including the most developed countries and the world's largest market-China. So, Pakistan needs to improve still further even those indicators in which it has outshone the other South Asian countries and bring at least at par those in which it is behind its regional neighbours.
