ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Angling for securing foreign investment to hold off the pressure on flagging economy, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday reconstituted the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) by adding Deputy Premier Ishaq Dar to the fold of its cabinet commitee.
Dar, who was earlier made chairman of the Privatisation Committee and a member of the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC) by the prime minister, would now be part of the all-important SIFC.
Moreover, Commerce Minister Jam Kamal Khan and Information Minister Atta Tarar also have been included in cabinet committee for the SIFC.
The latest addition of three members takes the total number of the SIFC cabinet committee members to 15.
According to the modus operandi of the SIFC, the Chief of Army Staff and the chief ministers are invited to attend the meetings, with the prime minister in the chair.
It must be noted that PM Shehbaz had formed the SIFC cabinet committee on May 27.
