Prominent businessman Arif Habib has indicated the Pakistani government is considering permitting cash purchases of homes up to Rs. 100 million (approximately $350,000 USD). This potential policy shift aims to stimulate activity in the real estate sector and attract investment. Currently, regulations heavily scrutinize large cash transactions in property to combat money laundering and tax evasion. Habib suggested the move could provide a boost to the construction industry and related businesses. No official government confirmation has been issued regarding the proposed change. Details regarding potential safeguards or reporting requirements for these cash transactions remain unclear. The proposal is being discussed amidst ongoing economic challenges and a need to encourage foreign and domestic investment.
