Consistent Policies Drive Pakistan IT Export Growth

Freelancers Play a Vital Role
As Pakistan posts highest-ever monthly IT exports of over $400 million, freelancers continue to play a crucial role. PAFLA Chairman Ibrahim Amin emphasized that freelancers bring valuable IT remittances into the country.
With training programs expanding nationwide via government institutions and NGOs, the number of skilled freelancers is steadily increasing, strengthening Pakistan’s digital workforce.
Outlook for the Rest of the Year
With six months still left in the financial year, analysts believe that if the current pace continues, Pakistan’s IT exports will reach between $4.2 billion and $4.5 billion. And, this will further be cementing the sector as a key driver of economic growth and foreign exchange earnings.
