Ahsan elaborated on how heavy taxation is hampering growth not only for the Telecom sector but also for Digital, IT, and other related industries. “Pakistan has about 60% of its population in the 15-29 age group, representing enormous human and knowledge capital. Immediate facilitation by the Government of Pakistan, along with a long-term policy framework, will stabilize the Telecom sector and contribute to the overall economic infrastructure of the country. Pakistan has an opportunity to become the hub of IT and Digital industry exports for this it needs consistent, reliable, strong, and affordable Telecom services. Government must review its taxation policy for the Telecom industry.
