Investing in up and coming markets like Pakistan will pay off, according to a report by PwC who ranked the country 20th in the top places of purchasing power, and therefore value, of a given currency – $1.878 trillion.

Islamabad, a bustling city
The capital of Pakistan, Islamabad, is a forward-thinking metropolis nestled among the green base of the Himalayas, growing into a stable business and financial centre.
