The meeting focused on advancing a pipeline of priority infrastructure projects that can be structured to attract private sector investment and long term capital, while meeting Pakistanโs connectivity, tourism and broader economic development needs.

The discussion also builds on Pakistanโs ongoing experience with PPP infrastructure, including the ๐๐๐๐ก๐ ๐ค๐ฉ ๐๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐ค๐ฉ๐ค๐ง๐ฌ๐๐ฎ (๐ 12) and ๐๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ฅ๐๐ฃ๐๐ ๐๐ค๐ฉ๐ค๐ง๐ฌ๐๐ฎ (๐ 13), which are being developed under the PPP model.
The meeting reaffirmed the Governmentโs commitment to mobilising private capital for public infrastructure and developing projects that are commercially viable, bankable and capable of attracting credible investors.
As Adviser Muhammad Ali emphasised, the starting point should be Pakistanโs development needs and the infrastructure required to support growth:
โ๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ค๐ช๐ก๐ ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ฉ ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ฃ ๐ฃ๐๐๐๐จ, ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ ๐ก๐ค๐ค๐ ๐๐ฉ ๐๐ค๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐ ๐๐๐ฃ ๐ข๐ค๐๐๐ก๐๐ฏ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ง๐๐จ๐ค๐ช๐ง๐๐๐จ ๐ง๐๐ฆ๐ช๐๐ง๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐๐ง ๐๐ฉ.โ
This approach reflects a broader shift towards using PPPs to expand the capacity for infrastructure investment beyond the limits of public financing, while ensuring that projects are developed with market appetite, commercial viability and public value in mind.
P3A remains committed to working with ministries, implementing agencies and the private sector to identify, structure and advance bankable PPP projects that can move from concept to investment and delivery.
