A Win for the U.S., A Win for Balochistan, A Win for Pakistan

This report consolidates and strengthens the full opportunity architecture around the newly announced EXIM-backed Reko Diq financing signal.

The public statements create a rare, high-leverage window: $1.25B in EXIM financing tied to Reko Diq, up to $2B in U.S. equipment and services, and a stated expectation of jobs in both the U.S. and Balochistan, while anticipating further U.S.-Pakistan agreements in critical minerals. (Dawn)

Core thesis: Reko Diq can be more than a mine. It can be a structured, measurable transformation platform that converts mineral development into:

  • bankable local enterprise growth,

  • mining-grade workforce pipelines,

  • safety and health systems,

  • transparent governance and grievance handling,

  • credible research, monitoring, and evaluation,

  • long-term regional economic diversification.

Proposed flagship vehicle: the Reko Diq Inclusive Growth and Integrity Partnership (RIGIP), a decision-grade partnership architecture anchored by the mine ecosystem, co-delivered through a potential practical alliance between Feel Worldwide Foundation Inc. (FWF) and University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass), aligned with Pakistani public institutions, regulators, industry, and communities. (UMass Amherst)
