Pakistan has retained its status as a Fifth-Generation (G5) regulator under the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Regulatory Benchmarking Framework, achieving an overall score of 75.77 in the ITU G5 Benchmark 2025.
Pakistan first entered the G5 category in 2021 with a score of 58.64, which improved to 68.36 in 2023. The 2025 score of 75.77 reflects continued progress in regulatory reforms, spectrum management, competition frameworks, and digital policy alignment.
This steady upward trend places Pakistan firmly within the “Advanced” regulatory maturity range (60–80) and indicates movement toward the “Leading” tier (80–100). The achievement reinforces Pakistan’s credibility in international telecommunications forums and strengthens its standing in global regulatory processes.
