ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s information technology sector recorded a historic milestone last December, with monthly exports reaching a record $437 million, the first time they have crossed the $400 million mark, official figures show.
According to data cited by Radio Pakistan, the sharp rise underscores sustained momentum in the country’s IT and IT-enabled services industry. The figures were confirmed by Khurram Schehzad, advisor to the finance minister, who disclosed the numbers in a public statement.
“December 2025 exports reached $437 million, crossing $400 million in a month for the first time ever,” Schehzad said.
The December performance reflects strong growth trends. IT exports rose 23% month-on-month from $356 million in November 2025 and posted a 26% year-on-year increase compared with $348 million in December 2024.
During the first half of fiscal year 2025–26 (FY26), Pakistan’s IT exports totaled $2.24 billion, marking a 20% increase from the same period last year. This growth has positioned the IT sector as the largest and most consistent contributor within the country’s services exports.
Officials say the record-breaking figures highlight the expanding role of technology-driven services in Pakistan’s export portfolio and their growing contribution to foreign exchange earnings and overall economic stability.
