Khurram Schehzad, Advisor to the Finance Minister, said that Digital Nation Pakistan 2025 is not merely a project but a comprehensive national vision to transform Pakistan into a digitally empowered country.
Addressing the FinTech Forward Forum during the 27th ITCN Asia in Lahore, Schehzad said the transformation will be driven by improved governance, a robust digital economy, and an inclusive digital society. The plan includes creating digital identities, building digital public infrastructure, and streamlining online services for both citizens and businesses, while ensuring data privacy and fostering innovation.
He revealed that 99 percent of government files are now transferred digitally between ministries under the E-Office platform, eliminating data loss and decision delays while enabling performance accountability through tracking systems that enhance transparency and credibility.
Schehzad said the government aims to reach 120 million bank accounts and make all government-to-government (G2G) transactions fully digital. “This year, the entire government system will be placed on digital foundations,” he said.
