Pakistan Caretaker PM Urges International IT Experts Recruitment for Economic Enhancement
Pakistan’s Caretaker Prime Minister, Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar, has given important instructions to create a plan for bringing in top Global IT experts from around the world. The goal is to strengthen Pakistan’s IT sector and, in turn, boost the country’s economy. In recent months, the government has been taking several steps to develop the IT sector, attracting foreign investment, creating more job opportunities, and positioning Pakistan as a competitive player in the global tech industry.
One of the key initiatives is the establishment of Special Technology Zones (STZs). These zones will provide various incentives, like tax exemptions and essential infrastructure support, to facilitate IT companies and professionals in their work. PM Kakar emphasized the significant potential of the information technology sector during the fifth meeting of the Board of Governors of the Special Technology Zones Authority in Islamabad.

The meeting also discussed issues related to the establishment and operation of Special Technology Zones across the country. Pakistan’s IT sector gained attention as local startups showed notable performance, receiving significant international funding.
