ISLAMABD (Dunya News) – Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that overseas Pakistanis are an important and huge asset of the country, government will facilitate them.

Addressing the launching ceremony of Roshan Apna Ghar scheme for the overseas Pakistanis in Islamabad, Imran Khan said that we have seen overseas Pakistanis progress abroad but unfortunately we have failed to benefit from them.

He said that Roshan Apna Ghar scheme will be secured by a bank guarantee and the buyers will have not to be afraid of losing their property on the hands of land mafia.

The prime minister said that no one paid attention to the welfare of overseas Pakistanis but now the present government is creating facilities for them.

Imran Khan said worth of nine million overseas Pakistanis  assets abroad is equal to the total GDP of Pakistan, which is a big source of investment to Pakistan.

The Prime Minister said huge impediment in investment from overseas Pakistanis is corruption in the country. He said Ease of Doing Business has improved in the country and efforts are on to enhance it further.

He said the Roshan Apna Ghar scheme will provide a guarantee to the investors and will bring dollars to reduce current account deficit. He said this will also help to have a sustainable growth in the country.
