Key Flagship Projects:
Below are the key initiatives that have been announced:

- Trade Corridor Hub: The plan to create a Trade Corridor Hub aims to increase local and regional trade, making Khyber Pakhtunkhwa an important part of national and international business. This hub is expected to promote economic growth and create jobs.
- Life Insurance for All Citizens: One of the Standout initiatives is the introduction of life insurance for every resident in the province. Following the success of the health card program will give families financial security in tough times, helping them cope with unexpected challenges.
- Establishment of an Islamic Takaful Insurance Company: The provincial government is making a major move by starting its own Islamic Takaful Insurance Company. This company will provide Shariah-compliant insurance products, especially for people who prefer Islamic financial services.

Timeline and Completion:
These projects are expected to be completed by the end of 2027, as discussed by the KPK govt in a recent meeting.
We will closely monitor them to make sure they are finished on time and provide the most benefit to the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
