The total foreign investment recorded in the first eight months of the current fiscal year stood at $704.1 million, down from $1.158 billion in the same period last year, representing a decline of 44%.
The country has been facing challenges due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, with tensions affecting the global market and causing fluctuations in the price of crude oil.
