The Pakistan Startup Fund, a flagship initiative of the Ministry of IT, provides equity-free grants to attract venture capital and support early-stage startups, bolstering investor confidence.

Forbes attributes the growth to improved macroeconomics and proactive policy support, with renewed global appetite for Pakistan’s tech economy.

Policy stability from the Ministry of Finance, paired with macroeconomic reforms and investor-friendly measures, has strengthened financing trends in fintech.

Analysts say the shift toward a tech-driven economy is reshaping the startup ecosystem and advancing an innovation-led national framework.

Fintech investment in Pakistan doubled in 2024 to 26.3 million USD, up from 12.5 million USD in 2023, signaling a rebound in the sector.

Government reforms and digitalization efforts under Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and key ministers, including Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb and IT Minister Shaza Fatima Khawaja, have propelled fintech traction.

In the first six months of 2025, fintech funding reached 52.5 million USD, signaling a clear and sustained recovery in tech investment.
