The present government of Pakistan is keen on advancing the nation’s digital infrastructure and is therefore planning to introduce the country’s first ever IPG to provide ease of doing business to the digital users.
The Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication and the National IT Board (NITB) under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan is going to launch the country’s first IPG.
The Ministry said that it was aiming for User’s Digital payments with ease, convenience and enhanced safety. To make this possible, a user sensitive approach has been adopted and the ministry has requested the users to provide a detailed feedback regarding the features for enhanced usability of IPG.
This system aims to facilitate the acceptance of electronic payment for online transactions. Freelancers, e-commerce retailers and small traders need to define their needs for international payments to benefit from IPG.
The Ministry has also asked the concerned people to disclose the problems that they have been facing in receiving international payments. It has also requested for details of security-related aspects in obtaining international payments and fraud-related issues when dealing with international and cross-border payments. The Ministry has invited suggestions from the users as to what they would like for the government to do to meet their particular needs when making online transactions. The IPG targets to make the digital payment system as convenient, fast and secure as it possibly can for the digital users.
