Islamabad: There is a significant increase in IT services exports due to the support of the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC). Official statistics indicate a six percent rise, translating to 5.4 billion dollars in foreign exchange earnings over the past eight months.
The IT, computer, and telecom services sector specifically experienced a twenty-five percent growth, achieving 2.4 billion dollars in exports.
This upsurge reflects a growing demand for Pakistani IT services in the global market, which is opening new opportunities for freelancers and startups.
With the government setting an ambitious IT export target of fifteen billion dollars over the next five years, the recent growth trend is seen as a positive step toward achieving this objective.
The figures, as reported by Radio Pakistan, underscore the pivotal role of SIFC in facilitating and promoting the country’s IT industry on an international scale.
