      <title>Pakistan’s IT exports decline after 13 months of growth</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330393660/pakistans-it-exports-decline-after-13-months-of-growth</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pakistan’s IT exports have witnessed a decline for the first time in over a year, ending a streak of 13 consecutive months of increases.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In November 2024, &lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/30279241/"&gt;IT exports&lt;/a&gt; fell by $6 million compared to October, marking a 2% drop on a month-to-month basis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the State Bank of Pakistan, &lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/30334351/uae-imposes-partial-ban-on-meat-imports-from-pakistan"&gt;IT exports&lt;/a&gt; totaled $324 million in October but decreased to $318 million in November.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite this monthly &lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/30291080/pm-chairs-meeting-on-hitting-15-bn-target-for-it-exports"&gt;decline&lt;/a&gt;, the sector showed a significant year-on-year growth of 25% compared to the same period last year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the first five months of the current fiscal year, Pakistan’s IT exports reached $1.53 billion, a substantial rise from $1.15 billion during the same period last year.&lt;/p&gt;
