Pakistan’s IT sector has achieved its highest-ever monthly export figure, reaching $386 million in October 2025. This milestone represents strong industry momentum, with a 17% jump compared to the same month last year and a 5.5% increase from September’s performance. Over the first four months of FY26, total IT exports have climbed to $1.4 billion, reflecting a robust 20% year-on-year rise.
The surge is driven by growing demand in MENAP and European markets, improved currency stability due to a steady PKR-USD exchange rate, and government-backed measures that make global operations easier for tech companies. Key contributors include the EIA facility and enhanced foreign currency retention limits, which allow IT firms to reinvest more earnings into expansion and hiring.
With the sector showing consistent upward momentum, the government is targeting $5 billion in IT exports for FY26, positioning technology as a central pillar of Pakistan’s economic growth strategy.
