Assisting French and other foreign companies explore business opportunities in Pakistan

Who are we?

Our company, S&H BUSINESS CONSULTANTS , offers our services specifically to French companies wishing to explore business opportunities in Pakistan.  

Demography

With a very dynamic population (35.1% under 15, 245 million inhabitants by 2030), Pakistan has already seen the emergence of a large middle class.

Many sectors, some of which are already very dynamic (telecommunications and banking in particular), harbor significant potential given the country's development needs: energy, water, waste management, transport, food processing, and consumer goods.

Security

The security situation, which previously weighed on the decisions of French companies concerning Pakistan, has improved markedly.

What is more, the Pakistani authorities have managed to maintain an attractive investment regime: full convertibility of the rupee, free repatriation of profits, and dividends.

Trade

At the bilateral level, trade between France and Pakistan amounted to EUR 1.31 billion in 2019. Pakistan is France's second-largest client in South Asia. France mainly exports pharmaceutical specialties, engines and turbines, and dairy and cheese products.

But many opportunities exist in other sectors: beauty products, childcare, tableware, kitchen equipment, ingredients for the food industry, animal health, equipment for dairy farming, etc.
