Summary

84% Informative

Pakistan 's tech industry contributes around 1% to the country’s GDP and over 10% to its annual exports.

The growth of the tech startup industry has been slow because of political instability in the country.

Pakistan 's government has denied using the firewall for censorship or control.

The government has denied it had anything to do with the slow internet speeds and blamed the issue on a faulty undersea cable, a cyberattack, and the overuse of virtual private networks.

Even before the recent disruptions and talks of the firewall, Pakistan had limited access to global technologies, freelance writer and digital rights activist Tehreem Azeem said.
