Foreign Direct Investment(FDI) has played a vital role in the economic growth of Pakistan. The objective of this paper is to review the literature on the Pakistan's FDI law and explore possibilities for research. We focus on the Foreign Private Investment (Promotion and Protection) Act 1976, Furtherance and Protection of Economic Reforms Act 1992, and Foreign Currency Accounts (Protection) Ordinance 2001. Major concern seems to be frequent change in policies, lack of follow up for effective implementation of the good decisions above all the law.
