Pakistan’s finance minister, Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb, met with the Sajwani Group business delegation to discuss cooperation in digital finance and emerging technologies as part of ongoing financial sector reforms and Pakistan’s digital transformation goals.
During the discussion, both sides reviewed global trends in tokenisation, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and digital infrastructure. They also explored how these tools could strengthen Pakistan’s financial system under existing laws.
The visiting delegation showed strong interest in working with the Government of Pakistan. It offered technical expertise, advisory services, and capacity building across several areas. These included tokenisation of real-world assets, blockchain-based platforms, AI-driven solutions, and modern digital infrastructure.
According to participants, global best practices from the private sector could help Pakistan improve transparency and efficiency. They also noted that these technologies can expand investor access and support financial inclusion. At the same time, the delegation stressed the importance of full compliance with Pakistan’s legal and regulatory framework.
The talks came as Pakistan reviews the responsible use of emerging financial technologies. In recent months, the government has begun assessing compliant blockchain infrastructure for sovereign and real-world assets. Officials believe such systems could play a role in modernising capital markets.
Both sides agreed that careful adoption of these technologies could deepen capital markets. They also said it could attract international investment and support long-term economic growth.
Senator Aurangzeb welcomed the delegation’s interest and thanked its members for engaging with Pakistan. He reiterated the government’s focus on responsible innovation, strong governance, and regulatory compliance. He added that Pakistan is actively engaging credible international partners to assess new technologies.
The minister said any future collaboration would follow national priorities. He also stressed that transparency and existing laws would guide all initiatives.
The delegation included Amira Hussain Sajwani, co-managing director at DAMAC Group and co-founder and CEO of Prypco, along with other senior delegation members and industry leaders. Officials said further discussions may take place as Pakistan continues to evaluate digital tools for its financial ecosystem.
