Internet Firewall Implementation Can Cost Pakistan’s Economy $300 Million Loss

The Pakistan Software Houses Association (PSHA) has expressed serious concerns about the impact of a newly implemented internet firewall in Pakistan, warning that it could result in an economic loss of $300 million.

According to the association, this firewall has already caused widespread internet disruptions, leading to slower VPN performance and making it harder for businesses to operate smoothly.

While firewalls are often used around the world to enhance cybersecurity, the PSHA believes that the problems caused by this particular firewall are more than just minor inconveniences—they are direct threats to the progress and growth of Pakistan’s industries.

The financial damage from these disruptions could potentially surpass $300 million, which would have a severe impact on businesses across the country. The PSHA is urging the authorities to reconsider the use of the firewall to prevent further harm to Pakistan’s economy and its digital infrastructure.
