Pakistan has secured membership in the World Economic Forum (WEF), marking a significant step forward in the country’s engagement with the global digital and crypto economy.
The move comes as State Minister for Crypto and Blockchain Bilal Bin Saqib was appointed to the WEF’s Global Steering Committee, a prestigious position that highlights Pakistan’s growing influence in shaping international digital finance and blockchain regulations.
Bilal Bin Saqib’s inclusion in the WEF’s Digital Assets Committee is a milestone for Pakistan, as the committee is responsible for developing policies and regulatory frameworks for crypto and blockchain on a global scale.
Officials said the appointment reflects international recognition of Pakistan’s rising global reputation and its proactive approach toward digital finance policy. The country is now an active participant in the global dialogue on digital asset regulation.
Experts noted that Pakistan’s participation in the WEF will help the country advance in the digital economy, promote innovation in blockchain technology, and strengthen regulatory frameworks in line with international standards.
By engaging in these global forums, Pakistan aims to foster technological development, attract international investment, and position itself as a key player in the modern digital economy.
