Pakistan’s exports recorded a significant increase of $1.76 billion in the first nine months of the current fiscal year, reflecting a steady improvement in the country's trade performance.
According to data released by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (FBS), Pakistan’s exports grew by 7.69% from July to March 2025, reaching $24.79 billion. This marks a notable rise of $1.76 billion compared to the same period last year when exports stood at $22.92 billion.
On a monthly basis, exports also increased by $127 million in March 2025, recording a 5.10% growth compared to March 2024.
Imports and trade deficit also rise
While exports showed promising growth, imports also surged by 6.33%, reaching $42.58 billion in the first nine months of the fiscal year.
As a result, Pakistan's trade deficit widened by 4.5%, reaching $17.9 billion from July to March. This highlights the continued pressure on the country’s balance of trade despite an encouraging rise in exports.
