Karachi: Pakistan Software Houses Association (P@SHA) has announced that the countryís IT and ITeS exports reached an all-time monthly high of $386 million in October 2025, marking a 17% year-on-year and 5% month-on-month increase, according to State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) data.The record performance reflects sustained exporter-friendly initiatives and strong collaboration between the IT industry and government bodies, including SIFC, MoITT, PSEB, Tech Destination Pakistan, FBR, and SBP. Analysts say such public-private synergy demonstrates the potential for rapid, sustainable growth in Pakistanís knowledge economy.The IT sector now contributes over 47% of total services exports and nearly 11% of overall national exports, while remaining the only major export category delivering consistent double-digit growth. The sector brings in high-value foreign exchange with minimal import intensity and provides a buffer against traditional export volatility.P@SHA highlighted key policy interventions that could fu rther accelerate growth, including automation of the capital repatriation process, reduction in capital gains tax, resolution of remote-worker taxation issues, easing business operations for IT companies, faster visa processingóparticularly for the UAEóand investment in digital communication infrastructure.Sajjad Mustafa Syed, Chairman of P@SHA, said: ìThe $386 million October figure is tangible proof that pro-exporter policies work. With the right policy continuityóincluding multi-year tax certainty and improved visa regimesóPakistan can confidently target $10 billion in annual IT exports by 2030.îWith current policies in place, the IT industry is projected to continue its growth trajectory, providing strategic support for Pakistanís macroeconomic stability.
