Pakistan’s IT exports showed strong progress in November 2025, rising by 14 percent compared to the same month last year and reaching $356 million. Although exports were about 8 percent lower than in October, the overall trend still points to steady growth in the sector.
The November figure was higher than the average monthly exports of the past 12 months, showing consistent demand for Pakistan’s IT services. During the first five months of the current financial year (FY26), total IT exports reached $1.8 billion. This marks a solid 19 percent increase compared to the same period last year.
Experts say this growth is mainly due to Pakistani IT companies expanding their presence in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Supportive steps taken by the State Bank of Pakistan have also played an important role. These measures include allowing IT exporters to keep a higher portion of their earnings in foreign currency accounts and making it easier to invest in overseas equity.
In addition, better stability of the Pakistani rupee has encouraged companies and freelancers to bring more of their foreign earnings back into the country. This has helped improve official export figures and strengthened foreign exchange inflows.
Looking ahead, the government has set a target of $5 billion in IT exports for FY26. Over the longer term, it aims to increase IT exports to $10 billion by FY29, highlighting the growing importance of the tech sector in Pakistan’s economy.
