ISLAMABAD: Adviser to the Finance Minister Khurram Schehzad has said that Pakistan’s technology exports surged to an all-time high of $4.6 billion during fiscal year 2025-26, posting a 21% increase over the previous fiscal year.
He attributed the growth to the country’s expanding digital economy and sustained government policy support.
Sharing the latest figures on his official X account, the adviser said technology exports stood at $416 million in June 2026 alone, reflecting a 12% month-on-month and 23% year-on-year increase.
He said the record performance marked another significant milestone for Pakistan’s digital economy and highlighted the country’s growing strength in technology, digital services and innovation.
According to the adviser, rising global demand for information technology-enabled services had enabled Pakistan to steadily strengthen its position as a competitive technology destination in international markets.
Khurram Schehzad said technology exports were not only generating valuable foreign exchange earnings but also creating high-value employment opportunities, attracting investment, and supporting the transition to a knowledge-based, export-oriented economy.
He said continued government policy support had played an important role in sustaining the sector’s growth, citing the extension of the 0.25% tax regime for IT exports through 2029, the promotion of digital payments, and ongoing initiatives for 5G deployment and digital infrastructure development.
The adviser said these measures were strengthening Pakistan’s technology ecosystem and laying a solid foundation for sustained export-led economic growth.
