Abstract
The present study was conducted with the broad aims to analyze the trend, pattern and benefits of FDI in Pakistan. Usually objectives of the home countries are to earn maximum profit and the host countries are interested in the benefits of FDI which are in the form of managerial skills and advanced technology, increased employment opportunities, and increase in government revenue etc., It has been observed that FDI inflow in the year 2004-05 reached US$ 1524 million as the highest if compared with last year FDI inflow in Pakistan. Further, it has been observed that FDI inflows if compared with the other developing countries in the region are not desirable. It has found that at this time for FDI in Pakistan the more suitable areas are energy sector, manufacturing sector, mining sector, IT and telecommunication, and value added textiles. The Government of Pakistan is well aware of the importance of FDI, therefore the management authorities should chalk out such policies, which encourage FDI inflow, and it will positively affect economic growth of the country.
