ISLAMABAD:

In a pronounced surge that defies broader macroeconomic headwinds, Pakistan’s information technology (IT) and telecom export remittances have reached an unprecedented zenith of USD 4.6 billion in the fiscal year 2025-26.

A Vanguard of Economic Resilience

According to authoritative data released by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), the sector registered a robust annual growth of approximately 20.6 percent, climbing from USD 3.814 billion in FY2024-25. Despite falling marginally short of the government’s ambitious USD 5 billion target, the IT sector remains the vanguard of Pakistan’s export economy.

"The sector ended the fiscal year on a strong note, with June 2026 exports rising to USD 416 million, reflecting both month-on-month and year-on-year growth despite earlier market volatility," noted industry analysts tracking the digital economy.

This remarkable resilience is underpinned by escalating global demand for software and IT-enabled services, burgeoning freelance earnings, and the expanding international footprint of indigenous technology enterprises.
