Commenting on the success of the show the CEO Zameen.com Mr. Zeeshan Ali Khan said, “Pakistan First – remains our foremost agenda at Zameen.com. I thank all the dignitaries, exhibitors and visitors for making this show a tremendous success. The fourteen thousand visitors at the Pakistan Property Show are proof that Pakistani realty has a major role to play in attracting overseas remittances and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). It is also an endorsement in favor of Pakistan Property Show as their realty investment platform of choice. We aim to come back to Dubai with a bigger show in 2018 in-sha-Allah.”Pakistan Property Show is a bridge to tap into the estimated US $700 billion Pakistani realty market. Overseas Pakistani worker remittances amount to US $19.3 billion. Pakistan Property Show will help reduce the deficit by increasing remittance volume and by encouraging foreign direct investment by high net worth investors, investment companies, international developers and brokerage firms.” He added.
Mr. Haider Ali Khan, the CEO of Bayut.com – the most influential property portal in the UAE – said, “UAE is home to 1.5 million overseas Pakistanis. The economic significance of these numbers is the US $4.33 billion remittances per year that makes up for 22.367% of the yearly remittances from overseas Pakistanis globally.The only missing part of the equation was a platform that provides secure access to the Pakistani realty across Pakistan – Pakistan Property Show Dubai has completed the equation.”
Mr. Imran Ali Khan, the CEO of Emerging Markets Property Group (EMPG), stated, “EMPG’s group companies with Bayut.com in UAE, Zameen.com in Pakistan and bproperty.com in Bangladesh are helping the regional multi-trillion-dollar real estate industry in realizing its full potential. EMPG has successfully innovated a unique regional framework for collective economic growth that we hope will guide regional markets in other parts of the world. Pakistan Property Show will serve as a model for other countries to follow.”
