Pakistan IT exports rise 13% YoY

June 17, 2026 (MLN): Pakistan's information technology exports clocked $373 million in May 2026, a 13% increase year-on-year.

On a cumulative basis, IT exports for the first 11 months of FY2026 reached a record $4.2 billion, up 20% year-on-year.

The government has projected full-year FY26 IT exports to grow 18% year-on-year to $4.5 billion.

The sector continues to be counted among Pakistan's strongest export performers, driving digital transformation, generating high-value employment, and broadening the country's global technology footprint.

The IT sector has solidified its position as a strategic pillar for economic stabilization and export diversification.

Furthermore, the government’s ambitious "Digital Nation Pakistan" framework aims to boost local infrastructure, highlighted by the upcoming mega IT Parks in Islamabad and Karachi that are projected to create over 20,000 jobs combined.

Under the new Artificial Intelligence Policy 2025, the government aims to train 200,000 individuals annually and fund hundreds of AI projects to position Pakistan competitively in the global digital economy.

With continued policy support in Budget FY27, the sector is seen as well-positioned to sustain double-digit growth and attract greater investment, according to Khurram Schehzad on his X account.
