Pakistan’s digital economy has significant potential to boost exports, contributing an additional $6.6 billion annually by 2030, driven by mobile apps, online video services, e-commerce, and more. The government plays a critical role in creating enabling policies to support this growth, particularly by addressing the digital skills gap. With a large, young, and eager workforce, Pakistan can increase its exports through digital upskilling and leveraging digital technologies to streamline market access and export processes.
The digital landscape in Pakistan requires a skilled workforce, as many IT graduates lack industry-relevant skills. The government must prioritize digital education and skills training, fostering greater adoption of education technologies to enable personalized learning and close the skills gap, ensuring Pakistan remains competitive in the global digital economy.
