Karachi: The net FDI investment landed $ 678.9 million during Jul-May 2011-12 after $42.5 million outflow of capital was brought back by the foreign investors in the bonds and stock markets, State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) statistics said.
FDI has registered decline of 48.3 percent to reach $765.4 million in eleven months of the current financial year 2011-12 as against $1,463 million in the same period of previous financial year.
