Pakistan has officially launched a national digital payment gateway aimed at freelancers and remote workers.
The platform allows direct receipt of international payments in PKR with same-day settlement, addressing a long-standing pain point for the country's estimated 2 million freelancers.
Officials say the gateway integrates with major international payment processors and will reduce transfer costs by up to 40 percent compared to traditional channels.
Industry experts have welcomed the move, calling it a potential turning point for Pakistan's digital economy.
