Pakistan's underutilized digital sector has the potential to become a powerful economic lever in the midst of global trade tensions and US tariff shifts.
With sectors like software development, fintech, and AI experiencing rapid growth in the US, experts believe Pakistan's IT exports to the US remain greatly untapped.
While traditional sectors face declining demand in the US, industries such as e-commerce, AI, telemedicine, and professional services are on the rise, creating an opportunity for Pakistan to shift its trade focus.
To maximize this opportunity, Pakistan needs to address infrastructure, regulatory hurdles, and limited international branding, while leveraging its English-speaking IT talent and competitive service costs.
