KARACHI, Jan 5: Adviser to the Prime Minister on Finance and Economic Affairs, Shaukat Aziz, has asked experts and investors to develop software and set up information technology service centres to serve the clients even outside the country.
Speaking as chief guest at an IT excellence award distribution ceremony at Bahria Complex here on Saturday night, he said that a study had estimated that the potential of global e-enabled services would be worth half a trillion US$ by the year 2008.
These markets, he added, provided an opportunity to Pakistani companies to set up call centres, bank office operation centres, data communication centres, documents processing, etc., as well as financial services centres to take the due share from the market.—APP
