During his stay, Finance Minister Aurangzeb is scheduled to address several investment forums and seminars, where he will present “a clear and updated picture of Pakistan’s economic outlook,” Express News reported.
The visit forms part of the government’s broader initiative to boost investor confidence and promote Pakistan’s investor-friendly policies on the global stage.
A key highlight of the visit is his participation in the investment roundtable titled “Pakistan Access Day,” organised by Jefferies, a leading global investment banking firm.
In addition, Aurangzeb will join a roundtable discussion with UK-based technology investors, with a focus on investment opportunities in artificial intelligence, mining, and healthcare. He will be accompanied at both events by Muhammad Ali, the Prime Minister’s Advisor on Investment.
The finance minister’s itinerary also includes a series of high-level government meetings. He is scheduled to visit His Majesty’s Treasury Department, where he will hold talks with Lord Livermore, the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, and other senior UK officials.
Further engagements are planned at the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), where he will meet with Leo Docherty, the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for the Middle East, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, alongside other British counterparts.
Aurangzeb will also meet with officials at the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), including its Chair, Richard Hughes, and his senior team, to discuss economic planning and fiscal projections.
Another key stop on his agenda is the Bank of England, where discussions with Governor Andrew Bailey and his team will revolve around monetary policy and financial cooperation.
The visit also includes meetings with senior executives from major financial institutions such as Deutsche Bank and Standard Chartered Bank. Additionally, he will meet with Simon Baugh, Chief Executive of the UK Government Communication Service, and Marcus Hall, Head of Cargill Global Trading UK.
Talks are also expected with representatives of British American Tobacco, reflecting the wide scope of business interests being addressed during the trip.
Beyond official meetings, Aurangzeb and Muhammad Ali will attend a business dinner hosted by the Pakistan High Commission in London, aimed at fostering dialogue with prominent British investors and business leaders.
The finance minister will further engage with the international community through interactive sessions with selected members of the international and British press, where he will respond to questions on Pakistan’s economic reforms, fiscal strategy, and investment priorities.
