Unlocking Pakistan's Digital Future: GSMA Highlights Opportunities and Progress at Digital Nation Summit Islamabad
Speaking to key decision makers at the GSMA's Digital Nation Summit in Islamabad , Julian Gorman , the GSMA's Head of Asia Pacific detailed the key findings and recommendations from the report. He outlined how mobile technologies and services are transforming Asian economies and can contribute an additional US $1.4 trillion in gross domestic product (GDP) for the region by 2030. However, he raised concerns that Pakistan risks missing out: although 81% of the country's population is covered by mobile broadband and 68% own a smartphone, only 29% of people used the mobile internet last year, leaving a 52% usage gap – the highest among major regional markets.
