KARACHI:(Click Pakistan)- Pakistan’s IT exports maintained strong growth, surpassing $2.2 billion in the first half of FY26, according to State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) data. During July–December 2025, IT sector exports reached $2.23 billion, up from $1.86 billion in the same period last year, marking a 19.5% year-on-year increase.
The surge is attributed to continued government incentives, enabling programs, and active participation of IT companies in global trade fairs such as GITEX, LEAP, and Money 20/20. In December 2025 alone, IT exports hit a record $437 million, exceeding the previous high of $386 million in October 2025. This represents a 25% increase compared to December 2024 and a 22% rise from November 2025.
Experts say growth could accelerate if the country invests in emerging technologies, including AI, cybersecurity, e-governance, and game development, while transforming IT education to empower the youth. Freelancers also play a growing role, with contributions projected to reach $0.8–1 billion by the end of FY26, supporting economic stability.
