Imran Khan said the government is working on emergency basis for the promotion of IT sector as Pakistan’s future is linked with it. He said government has started different training and crash courses to educate the youth in e-commerce.

Speaking on the occasion, Prime Minister’s Special Assistant to on E-Commerce Aon Abbas Bappi said the government is making vigorous efforts to take the volume of e-commerce trade from existing four billion dollars to 7.5 billion dollars by the end of this year and nine billion dollars by next year. He said PTI government is the first one, which announced the first ever e-commerce policy of the country that helped increase internet users to 110 million. He said there are one million active free lancers in Pakistan, comprising a large component of female users.

Finance Minister Shaukat Tarin said Pakistan’s IT sector grew by 47 percent last year and expected growth this year is 75 percent, which shows government’s IT friendly policies.
