His Excellency Arif Amiri, Chief Executive Officer, DIFC Authority, [Spokesperson], at DIFC, said: “We are pleased to expand the Dubai FinTech Summit to Pakistan, a rapidly emerging FinTech hub.
The Pakistan FinTech Summit is a powerful reflection of DIFC’s ambition to lead the global dialogue on financial innovation and FinTech, underpinning Dubai’s commitment to enabling growth and unlocking cross-border innovation opportunities between the UAE, Pakistan, and South Asia.
By lending expertise and thought leadership to such impactful gatherings, we are charting the future of finance.” Shaza Fatima Khawaja, Federal Minister of IT and Telecommunications (MoITT) said, “A credible FinTech ecosystem is built on innovation, regulatory clarity, and institutional trust. Pakistan is advancing all three in a disciplined and forward-looking manner.
The Pakistan FinTech Summit, organized in collaboration with DIFC, reflects a strategic partnership grounded in shared ambition and mutual confidence. DIFC’s decision to convene its flagship FinTech platform under the Pakistan brand, beyond the UAE, is a strong signal of global trust in Pakistan’s emerging digital financial ecosystem and its reform trajectory.”
