Ministry of Information Technology & Telecom, through PSEB under the leadership of Minister of Information Technology and Telecom, Anusha Rehman, is making all possible efforts to facilitate IT companies in order to multiply the exports of IT products and services from Pakistan and to attract FDI towards the local IT Industry.

The Minister has constituted a multi-stakeholder High Level Executive Council Forum (ECF) to work on how to increase IT & ITES exports as part of the government economic growth agenda and has stressed upon PSEB authorities to complete all running projects within stipulated time period with complete efficacy to boost IT exports.
