Can you advise what has been done to support IT industry in Pakistan over the last few years?


In BD there has been a focus on IT since 2009 with the "Digital BD" initiative and there has been massive increase in internet bandwidth, IT Parks being set up with all required infrastructure like internet, power, water/sewarage and lots of tax incentives and training availability to yougsters in the field.

I mean it when I say Pakistan should pish very hard in IT as it is a good way to nature the interest in IT that the young have and provide well-paid skilled jobs for hundreds of thousands of them.

There has been a tax holiday for quite a long time. I would say, it has been more of an organic growth that slowly gained momentum. It has been slowly building since early 2000’s.

Recently there was a plan to build tech zones across the country but with the change in government not hearing much about it.
