Donors offer $5b for Reko Diq
Pakistan has received an overwhelming response from multinational donors and agencies, which have offered $5 billion in financing to execute the multibillion-dollar Reko Diq copper and gold mining project in Balochistan. Sources told The Express Tribune that the commitments received from foreign donors were more than the funding requirement for the Reko Diq project, which is estimated at $3 billion. They said that the donors included the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Islamic Development Bank (IDB), International Finance Corporation (IFC) and US Exim Bank. Development agencies from Germany and Denmark have also offered financing. According to sources, the financial close of the project is at an advanced stage and Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik, backed by the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC), is taking the lead and making aggressive efforts to expedite work, which will pave the way for exploring the entire potential of the mining sector. It is interesting to note that the US Exim Bank has offered no cap on financing and is ready to provide capital, which Pakistan and other partners desperately need. The Ministry of Petroleum recently organised a webinar in association with the US embassy to woo American investors to participate in mining projects in Pakistan. State-owned exploration giant Oil and Gas Development Company (OGDC) is a key partner in the Reko Diq project and efforts are underway to kick off work. It also helped arrange a mineral conference, which attracted financing offers. Pakistan is blessed with abundant mineral resources that hold immense potential for fuelling economic growth and industrial development. The country's vast reserves of minerals, including coal, copper, gold, iron ore, chromite and precious stones, provide a solid foundation for the mining sector to thrive and contribute to economic development. Despite its huge potential, the mineral sector currently contributes around 3.2% to the gross domestic product (GDP), with exports accounting for only 0.1% of the world's total. However, with increasing exploration, foreign investment and infrastructure improvements, the mining industry is poised for significant expansion. Pakistan's mineral-rich landscape covers an outcrop area of approximately 600,000 square kilometres. With 92 known minerals, 52 of which are commercially exploited, Pakistan produces an estimated 68.52 million metric tons of minerals annually. The sector supports over 5,000 operational mines and 50,000 small and medium enterprises (SMEs), providing direct employment to 300,000 workers. Some of the country's most notable mineral reserves include the world's second-largest salt mines, the fifth-largest copper and gold deposits and significant coal reserves. Furthermore, Pakistan holds vast quantities of bauxite, gypsum and precious stones such as ruby, topaz, and emerald, which offer considerable export potential. Globally, mineral resources play a crucial role in economic development. Many developed countries, including China, Italy, Turkiye, Spain and Brazil, have effectively leveraged their mineral wealth to fuel industrial growth, increase employment and enhance per-capita income. Pakistan's mineral sector holds similar promise. With strategic planning and investment, the country can improve trade, generate employment and facilitate infrastructure development, ultimately accelerating economic progress. The local mining sector is increasingly attracting foreign investment, with global firms eyeing the untapped mineral reserves. The Reko Diq copper and gold project, located in the Chagai district of Balochistan, has the world's largest untapped copper reserves and stands as a milestone for Pakistan's mining ambitions. The project, revived by Canada's Barrick Gold, is expected to start producing copper and gold by 2028, with an initial investment of $5.5 billion. According to Mark Bristow, CEO of Barrick Gold, which owns a 50% stake in the project, the reserves are expected to generate $74 billion in free cash flow over the next 37 years. The mine is anticipated to generate $2.8 billion in annual exports, create thousands of jobs and transform the local economy. A planned expansion will increase copper production to 400,000 tonnes and gold output to 500,000 ounces per year, with an additional investment of $3.5 billion. Under an intergovernmental transaction agreement, the federal cabinet has approved the sale of a 15% stake in the Reko Diq project to Saudi Arabia. This underscores the region's potential as a hub for foreign investment in the mining sector. Saudi Arabian mining company Manara Minerals will acquire the 15% stake, potentially involving an investment of $1 billion. Logistics for the Reko Diq mine will be managed through a railway track, which is being built in partnership with Pakistan Railways. Railway tracks will essentially entail moving mining supplies to Karachi and eventually exporting copper concentrate and gold.

ADB terms pensions costly, insurance weak
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has said that the Pakistan government employees' pension scheme is "attractive" but it places an immense burden on the national exchequer because it lacks a funding mechanism. In a report released on Friday, the Manila-based institution also called for sweeping reforms in the country's underdeveloped insurance sector to bolster financial protection against natural disasters and support private sector growth. The ADB detailed how the generous benefits offered to retired government employees are not backed by a structured funding plan, making the system a significant drain on public finances. The report noted that "the burden of government pension on the exchequer is very high". The report called for expanding the scope of the Employees' Old-Age Benefits Institution to create a more sustainable, contributory system, and emphasised the critical role that a robust insurance sector could play in Pakistan's economic stability. The report suggested that the government should promote the insurance sector, particularly for social insurance programmes targeting the poor. It also emphasised the need to improve the regulatory environment for insurance companies.
