Multinational Corporations Exit Pakistan Amid Rising Militancy and Economic Challenges

A growing number of multinational corporations are exiting Pakistan due to rising militancy, corruption, and regulatory challenges, according to a report by leading news paper.
 
 
According to report, firms like Procter & Gamble, Shell, Microsoft, Uber, Yamaha, and Pfizer are scaling back or leaving. Economic instability, currency devaluation, high taxes, and poor policy implementation are driving this trend. The reports said, the exits reflect a lack of confidence in Pakistan’s long-term business climate.
 
 
While some argue these are strategic global shifts, the overall impact, including falling foreign investment and deindustrialization, signals deeper structural problems.
