Pakistan’s technology sector continues to attract attention as the country’s young workforce plays an increasingly important role in the IT and digital services industry.

Information Technology Minister Shaza Fatima said Pakistan’s technology industry is benefiting from the talent and potential of its young professionals. She also highlighted the competitiveness of Pakistani IT talent in terms of both cost and quality.

According to the minister, Pakistan’s IT exports are growing by around 20 percent annually, while the government is working toward a long-term target of $25 billion in IT exports.

The country’s growing pool of developers, software engineers and other technology professionals could play an important role in expanding Pakistan’s digital economy.

With technology skills becoming increasingly valuable worldwide, Pakistan’s young IT workforce could remain a major driver of future economic growth.
