KARACHI: The Pakistan Software Houses Association (P@SHA) on Sunday hailed Pakistan’s record $4.6 billion in information technology (IT) exports during fiscal year 2025-26, saying the milestone reflected the country’s expanding global technology footprint and growing competitiveness despite war-like disruptions across the region and the wider Middle East.
The association said Pakistan achieved the record export figure by expanding into new products, industry verticals and advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and automation, despite challenging regional conditions during FY26.
Welcoming the historic milestone, P@SHA Chairman Sajjad Syed said the USD4.6 billion export figure reflected Pakistan’s growing technical capabilities and the collective efforts of thousands of technology companies and the professionals employed by them.
“This achievement demonstrates that Pakistan is not only delivering established IT and IT-enabled services (ITeS) solutions, but is also building capabilities in emerging technologies, keeping pace with the global technology landscape and expanding its geographical reach,” he said.
While celebrating the sector’s latest success, the association said its leadership remained focused on the future growth of Pakistan’s digital economy and the policy support needed to sustain the sector’s momentum.
P@SHA said consistency in tax policies, streamlined regulatory compliance, continued investment in digital connectivity and sustained collaboration between the government and the technology industry would enable Pakistan to build on its recent progress, strengthen its position as a future-ready technology destination and achieve even greater success in the years ahead.
The association said it would continue working closely with policymakers, industry leaders and international partners to ensure Pakistan’s IT and ITeS ecosystem remains highly lucrative, globally integrated and supported by robust digital infrastructure.
