Pakistan's IT and telecom sector achieved record exports of $4.6 billion in FY2025-26, a significant 20.6% annual increase from $3.814 billion in the prior fiscal year, though it missed the $5 billion government target. The sector ended strong, with June 2026 exports at $416 million. Despite some volatility, IT remained a top-performing export industry, bolstered by global demand and growing freelance earnings. Continued growth in IT exports could help stabilize Pakistan's foreign exchange reserves, potentially easing pressure on the USD/PKR rate and influencing local gold prices.
