Islamabad: Pakistan’s information technology (IT) exports reached a record USD 4.6 billion in FY26, marking a 21% increase from USD 3.8 billion in the previous fiscal year, according to data compiled by Topline Securities.
The performance enabled the sector to achieve the lower end of the government’s FY26 export target of USD 4.5 billion to USD 5 billion.
IT exports stood at USD 416 million in June 2026, up 23% year-on-year and 12% higher than in May, making it one of the strongest monthly performances of the fiscal year.
Net IT exports, which exclude technology-related imports, totalled USD 3.98 billion during FY26, highlighting the sector’s continued contribution to Pakistan’s foreign exchange earnings.
The government aims to increase annual IT exports to USD 10 billion by FY29 under the Uraan Pakistan economic plan. According to Topline Securities, achieving this target will require average annual growth of nearly 30% over the next three fiscal years.
The IT sector’s record performance further strengthens its position as one of Pakistan’s leading services export industries and a key source of foreign exchange.
