Pakistan's foreign direct investment fell 31% in the first 10 months of the fiscal year to $1.409 billion, with April recording just $54 million inflows compared to $179 million the previous year. While China contributed over half of all FDI at $740 million, this itself represents a decline from $1.04 billion in the same period last year, and notable disinvestment from sectors such as telecommunications ($477 million) has accelerated.
