KARACHI: Pakistan recorded monthly IT exports of $374 million in January, up 19 per cent year-on-year (YoY) basis but down 14pc month on month (MoM).

This takes 7MFY26 to $2.6 billion, reflecting a 20pc YoY growth, says a note by the Topline Securities.

While the government has set a target of $5bn for FY26, the brokerage house expects IT exports to grow by 18-20pc during the year to $4.5bn versus FY25 exports of $3.8bn.
