InfraZamin Pakistan, in collaboration with the Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG), convened senior leaders from government, financial institutions, development finance institutions, investors, and the private sector for an exclusive roundtable discussion titled “Investing in Pakistan’s Sustainable Transformation” during London Climate Action Week 2026 at PIDG Headquarters in London.

The roundtable brought together senior leaders from the public and private sectors, including Her Excellency Jane Marriott, British High Commissioner to Pakistan; Zafar Masud, Chairman of the Pakistan Banks’ Association and OGDCL; Atif Bajwa, President & Chief Executive Officer of Bank Alfalah; and Ayesha Khan, MD at Acumen Funds. The roundtable was chaired by Maheen Rahman, CEO InfraZamin Pakistan, and Philippe Valahu, CEO PIDG. The forum convened over thirty prominent representatives from development finance institutions, commercial banks, institutional investors, and climate organizations from Pakistan and the United Kingdom.

Mobilizing Climate and Infrastructure Investment

The discussion reinforced that Pakistan presents significant opportunities to mobilize climate and infrastructure investment. Participants agreed that realizing this potential and building to scale will require stronger collaboration between investors, blended capital providers, project owners/developers, and the government. A clear need for a robust pipeline of investable projects, enabling policies, and practical financing solutions were highlighted as the primary catalyst for garnering greater investor participation.

Key Discussion Outcomes

• Developing a Pipeline of Investable Projects: Create a coordinated platform bringing together the public and private sectors along with financiers to accelerate project identification, development, and a pipeline of investible projects via a multi-stakeholder task force.
• Strengthening Research and Market Intelligence: Improve market research and evidence-based analysis to support better financing structures and policy decisions.
• Prioritizing Climate-Resilient Agriculture: Scale investment in climate-smart agriculture to enhance productivity, food security, and economic resilience.
• Building on an Enabling Policy Environment: Strengthen targeted policy support and regulatory incentives frameworks to unlock private investment.

A Shared Commitment to a Greener Economy

The roundtable concluded with a shared commitment to strengthen and build scale and solutions for the mobilization of greater volumes of private capital for Pakistan’s sustainable infrastructure to support the country’s transition towards a greener, more resilient, and inclusive economy.

Participants also commended InfraZamin Pakistan for convening this timely dialogue during London Climate Action Week 2026 and reaffirmed their commitment to continued collaboration through future initiatives that foster partnerships, promote innovation, and accelerate sustainable investment in Pakistan.
