State Bank of Pakistan data released on Tuesday, November 18, 2025 shows Pakistan IT exports reached $386 million in October 2025, marking a 17% year-on-year and 5% month-on-month increase that industry leaders say underscores the sector’s accelerating momentum.<\/p>\n
P@SHA<\/strong> and other stakeholders noted that the IT and ITeS sector now accounts for over 47% of total services exports and nearly 11% of overall national exports, and remains the only major export category delivering consistent double-digit growth while generating high-value foreign exchange with almost zero import intensity.<\/p>\n Industry sources attribute the record monthly remittances to a combination of exporter-friendly initiatives and sustained engagement between the private sector and government institutions, including SIFC, MoITT, PSEB, Tech Destination Pakistan, FBR and SBP, demonstrating that effective public-private synergy can unlock rapid, sustainable growth in the knowledge economy.<\/p>\n Sajjad Mustafa Syed<\/strong>, Chairman of P@SHA, said ‘The $386 million October figure is tangible proof that pro-exporter policies work. When the government and the State Bank removed friction and trusted the private sector, our companies responded with record remittances and aggressive global expansion. We now urge policymakers to build on this success by announcing a multi-year policy roadmap that includes 10-year tax certainty post-2026, streamlined visa regimes for international clients and talent, and investment in internet infrastructure. With the right policy continuity, Pakistan can confidently target $10 billion in annual IT exports by 2030.’<\/p>\n P@SHA and industry participants have highlighted targeted interventions that would further accelerate Pakistan IT exports, including automation of the capital repatriation process, a reduction in capital gains tax, resolution of the remote worker classification issue, measures to ease doing IT business locally, improved visa processing\u2014particularly for UAE travel\u2014and further investment in digital communication infrastructure.<\/p>\n With the current policy framework and continued collaboration between industry and government, projections indicate the sector is well positioned to scale rapidly, reinforcing Pakistan’s digital economy as a strategic contributor to macroeconomic stability and future prosperity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pakistan IT exports hit $386M in Oct 2025, up 17% YoY.
