Pakistan’s IT Exports Surge 19% Year-on-Year to Reach Nine-Month High

October 16, 2026 • 1 hour ago •

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s information technology exports have experienced a significant boost, rising 19 percent year-on-year to $435 million in September 2026, marking the highest level in nine months. This growth reflects the increasing global demand for Pakistani tech services and products.

The latest figures released by the Ministry of Information Technology indicate a robust recovery in the sector, which has been a critical component of the country’s economic landscape. Officials attribute this growth to enhanced government support, investment in digital infrastructure, and a burgeoning startup ecosystem that is attracting foreign clients.

This surge in IT exports is expected to have positive implications for Pakistan’s economy, contributing to job creation and foreign exchange earnings. As the government aims to position the country as a regional tech hub, this upward trend could bolster investor confidence and stimulate further growth in the technology sector.

Looking ahead, stakeholders anticipate continued growth in IT exports, with upcoming initiatives aimed at fostering innovation and expanding market access. The government plans to hold a series of meetings with industry leaders to discuss strategies for sustaining this momentum and addressing challenges faced by the sector.
