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, according to a press release.
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 organisations from Pakistan and the United Kingdom.
The discussion reinforced that Pakistan presents significant opportunities to mobilise climate and infrastructure investment. Participants agreed that realising this potential and building to scale will require stronger collaboration between investors, blended capital providers, project owners/developers and government. A clear need for a robust pipeline of investable projects, enabling policies, and practical financing solutions was highlighted as the primary catalyst for garnering greater investor participation.
The roundtable concluded with a shared commitment to strengthen to build scale and solutions for mobilisation of greater volumes of private capital for Pakistan’s sustainable infrastructure, supporting the country’s transition towards a greener, more resilient, and inclusive economy.
