Not too far from the besieged government, bright stars of the private sector are carefully preparing to dig their heels deeper in the business landscape of Pakistan.
In the midst of a historic health crisis, besides negotiating mounting political, economic and diplomatic pressures, Prime Minister Imran Khan’s government is struggling to deal with the embarrassment and hefty fine in a case that Pakistan lost to Tethyan Copper Company (TCC) in the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). National Resource Ltd (NRL), however, has occupied itself with a singular purpose: to shape up and secure rights to harness mineral wealth in Balochistan. Open to a whole gambit of ideas, the company is all set to bet multi-billion-rupees to try its luck at Reko Diq gold and copper mines in the restive province.
