The report added that under the government’s ‘Uraan Pakistan’ economic plan, IT exports are projected to reach $10 billion by FY29, implying a compound annual growth rate of 27 per cent over the next three years.Analysts said sustained policy support, a stable exchange rate, and continued global demand for digital services would remain key drivers for the sector’s growth trajectory.
