What’s holding back Pakistan’s IT growth?

Pakistan's digital economy says it can grow much faster, but only if the right policies stay in place.

Former P@SHA Chairman Zohaib Khan and Pakistan E-Commerce Association representative Shoaib Bhatti point to inconsistent taxation, limited digital payment systems, and regulatory hurdles slowing IT exports and e-commerce growth.

Calls are also growing to extend the 0.25% export tax regime, along with clearer rules for freelancers, remote workers, and fund repatriation.
