@umarsaif Commendable vision! @umarsaif is steering Pakistan towards self-sufficiency in mobile phones, fostering local manufacturing, and driving towards a billion-dollar export industry. #InnovationLeadership 📱🌐

Pakistan is the 7th largest market of cellular users in the world with 191 Million cellular connections. However, we import most of our mobile phones. We need to manufacture them locally and develop an industry to export made-in-Pakistan phones. Today in our first Mobile conference, we shared a comprehensive plan to develop the industry. Pakistan has 33 handset manufacturers with a capacity to meet all of our local demand (25 million phones annually). We announced 3% R&D incentive for the industry to make them globally competitive in terms of price. We will also be announcing a plan to manufacture components in Pakistan (local deletion policy) and make the locally manufactured phones cheaper than imported phones using a tariff deferential policy. Our cellphones exports can grow to a Billion dollar industry in the next few years. Shortly, people will also be able to buy phones on instalments via cellphones financing schemes.
