Pakistan has begun to see an increase in information technology growth, and over the last two years, a number of initiatives have been implemented to help this trend continue to grow. As a result, in order to maintain the upward trend, the government is attempting to provide Pakistan with all of the necessary tools and resources for the development of the information technology sector. Additionally, it has introduced a variety of incentives to encourage the expansion of IT exports in Pakistan.
A meeting was held to discuss the issues that are being faced by the companies that are involved in this industry. During the discussion, it was brought up that freelance workers are having difficulties with IT-related remittance. Because the information technology sector has enormous potential, these issues should be addressed as soon as possible because they will result in greater efficiency and maximum benefits when properly addressed.
