Thank you to the European Union for their continued dedication in supporting European businesses entering the Pakistani market.

I am extremely excited to be part of the EU-Pakistan Business Forum on 28-29 April in Islamabad.

I hope you will be part of it too; Pakistan is a dynamic market with high-growth potential, and a population that is motivated, ambitious, and extremely talented.

The German Embassy celebrated the Day of German Unity in the gardens of the Serena Business Complex, Islamabad, bringing together dignitaries, representatives of government and civil entities, and German friends from the Diplomatic Corps, companies, and social sector organisations. 🇩🇪🇵🇰 This year’s celebration also marks 75 years of relations between Germany and Pakistan, a partnership built over generations through diplomacy, culture, education, and people.

Landed in Karachi with meetings lined back to back. Left the day with something I didn't expect, a sunset over the Arabian Sea that put the whole hustle into perspective. Business doesn't pause for a view like that. But every now and then, it's worth stopping anyway. Karachi, relentless by day, breath-taking by evening. taken in Karachi کراچی by @matthewshaw_official

At LIIBS 2026 Leaders in Islamabad Business Summit.
"The Next Move" isn't just the theme of this summit .It's the conversation every leader in this room needs to be having right now. Ideas, investment, innovation, and inclusive growth aren't separate goals anymore. They're one agenda. taken in Serena Hotel Islamabad by @matthewshaw_official

In the heart of Europe, Brussels, right outside the EU headquarters. Here to understand what European entrepreneurs and investors actually need, and how to bridge that with what's happening back home. Pakistan has the potential. Europe has the potential. The real opportunity is in connecting the two and that's exactly the work happening right now. taken in Brussels, Belgium by @matthewshaw_official

Three German companies. Three investment decisions. 🇵🇰🇩🇪

Fintech: INVEST NOW
Technology: INVEST NOW
Logistics: WAIT

Do you agree with Matthew Shaw’s verdict?

Choose for yourself: INVEST NOW, WAIT or DO NOT INVEST?

Everyone talks about Pakistan's low costs. Almost nobody talks about its real potential. That gap? That's the opportunity.
The real reason foreign companies should be watching Pakistan has nothing to do with cost-cutting, it's about getting in before everyone else catches on. It was about timing. And that window is open right now. by @matthewshaw_official

Ever wonder why the same pitch lands in one country and flops in another?
It's not the idea, it's the culture behind the deal.
Two markets. Two completely different rulebooks. ⚡🇵🇰🇩🇪
In Pakistan, relationships close the deal. In Germany, process does. Miss that shift, and you don't just lose a meeting, you lose the market. by @matthewshaw_official

🇵🇰 This Independence Day, the conversation about Pakistan should not only be about where we have come from, but where we could go next.

One year after our first conversation, Matthew Shaw returns to Kaisay to reassess the investment case for Pakistan.

What has genuinely improved? Which sectors are ready for investment? Why do promising deals still collapse? And what do foreign investors see in Pakistan that Pakistanis themselves sometimes overlook?

From cryptocurrency and digital government to skilled talent, SME financing and Gwadar, this is a candid conversation about Pakistan’s risks, reforms and unrealised economic potential.

The Investment Case for Pakistan

Coming soon on Kaisay.

Happy Independence Day. 🇵🇰
