Pakistan’s local IT sector achieved a historic milestone in October 2025, exporting $38.6 million worth of services for the first time, according to data released by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP).
The figures show an annual growth rate of 17%, with a 5.5% increase recorded for October alone. In comparison, IT exports in September 2025 stood at $36.6 million. During the first four months of the current fiscal year, total IT exports reached $140 million, up from $120 million in the same period last year—a 20% year-on-year growth.
Experts attribute the growth to a combination of factors, including an increase in foreign currency deposits to 35–50% and a stable exchange rate of the Pakistani rupee against the US dollar, which has boosted confidence among exporters.
Specialists also highlighted that Pakistani IT companies are expanding their services in the Middle East, North Africa, and European markets, signaling a widening international footprint.
