Pakistan IT Exports Reach Record $354 Million in July 2025
Pakistan’s IT sector has set a new benchmark with record monthly exports of $354 million in July 2025, reflecting a strong 24% year-on-year rise and 5% growth compared to June. The performance exceeded the 12-month average of $317 million, showcasing the sector’s sustained upward momentum.
The biggest driver came from computer services, which reached $311 million, fueled by a sharp rise in software consultancy exports, climbing to $104 million from $96 million in June.
According to Topline Research, multiple factors contributed to this growth. These include an expanding global client base, particularly in the GCC region, and supportive measures by the State Bank of Pakistan. The SBP’s decision to raise the permissible retention limit in foreign currency accounts from 35% to 50%, along with allowing equity investment abroad, provided exporters greater flexibility. Additionally, the relative stability of the Pakistani Rupee encouraged firms to repatriate more earnings.
A P@SHA survey revealed that 62% of IT companies are now operating specialized foreign currency accounts, enabling smoother reinvestment.
Net IT exports (exports minus imports) stood at $317 million, marking a 26% YoY rise and staying well above the yearly average. These results highlight the growing strength of Pakistan’s digital economy and its global competitiveness.
