A recent survey shows that growing security concerns in Pakistan are damaging the confidence of foreign investors and making it harder for businesses to operate stably.

近期的一項調查顯示，巴基斯坦日益增加的安全憂慮正在損害外國投資者的信心，並使企業難以穩定經營。

The Overseas Investors Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OICCI) conducted its 2026 Security Survey in June. The results revealed that 71% of company leaders consider security to be a primary concern. This feeling of instability is a major obstacle that prevents new capital from entering the country and stops existing businesses from growing. Geographically, the situation is worst in the western regions; for example, 86% of respondents in Balochistan and 81% in Quetta reported that security has declined, while 42% noted a worsening situation in Karachi.

海外投資者商會（OICCI）於六月進行了 2026 年治安調查。結果顯示，71% 的公司領導者認為安全是首要關注事項。這種不穩定感是一個重大障礙，阻礙了新資本進入該國，並阻止現有企業成長。從地理分佈來看，西部地區的情況最為嚴重；例如，貝路吉斯坦省有 86% 的受訪者與奎達有 81% 的受訪者表示治安下降，而卡拉奇則有 42% 的人指出情況惡化。

Furthermore, operational problems are made worse by a rise in street crime, which is the main worry for businesses. In fact, 50% of firms in Karachi reported an increase in these incidents. The safety of staff during travel, especially in Quetta and Karachi, has also become a serious risk. At the same time, trust in law enforcement is decreasing. While confidence in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police and Sindh Rangers remains higher, views of the Sindh and Karachi Police have become more negative. Additionally, the OICCI emphasized that institutional challenges include frequent protests, threats to the safety of foreigners, and demands for illegal payments by police officers.

此外，街頭犯罪的增加使營運問題更加嚴重，這也是企業最擔心的問題。事實上，卡拉奇有 50% 的公司報告此類事件有所增加。員工在旅途中的安全，特別是在奎達和卡拉奇，也成為了嚴重風險。與此同時，對執法部門的信任度正在下降。雖然對開伯爾帕赫吞誇省警察和信德省遊騎兵的信心仍較高，但對信德省和卡拉奇警察的看法則變得更加負面。此外，OICCI 強調，制度性挑戰包括頻繁的抗議、對外國人安全的威脅，以及警察索要非法款項。

External political tensions have also added to these domestic problems. Approximately 88% of the surveyed companies stated that tensions in West Asia, specifically between the United States and Iran, have negatively affected their operations. Consequently, this regional instability has led to disrupted supply chains, a decrease in business activity, and higher risks to employee safety.

外部政治緊張局勢也加劇了這些國內問題。約 88% 的受訪公司表示，西亞地區的緊張局勢，特別是美國與伊朗之間，對其營運產生了負面影響。因此，這種區域不穩定導致了供應鏈中斷、商業活動減少以及員工安全風險增加。

Foreign investment in Pakistan continues to fall because failures in domestic law enforcement and regional political tensions are making the business environment unstable.

巴基斯坦的外國投資持續下降，因為國內執法失敗與區域政治緊張使商業環境變得不穩定。
