Pakistan’s exports to European countries grew by 8.62% during the first ten months of the fiscal year 2025, according to data shared by the State Bank of Pakistan. Total exports reached $7.553 billion, compared to $6.954 billion during the same period last year.
This increase is mainly due to higher demand for Pakistan’s textile and clothing products, particularly in Western European markets. Countries such as Germany, the Netherlands, France, Italy, and Belgium played a major role in driving this growth.
Exports to Western Europe saw a healthy rise of 10.04%, reaching $3.791 billion. Northern Europe recorded an even bigger jump, with exports increasing by 17.39%.
Southern and Eastern Europe also showed positive results, with growth of 3.62% and 13.96%, respectively. Among individual countries, Spain, Italy, and Greece stood out as important destinations for Pakistani products.
This growth in exports shows Pakistan’s ability to stay strong in international markets, even with ongoing global economic difficulties.
It also underlines the importance of the European Union as a reliable trading partner, especially under the GSP+ (Generalised Scheme of Preferences Plus) trade agreement, which provides Pakistan with special access to European markets.
The steady demand from Europe, particularly for Pakistan’s textile sector, shows the country’s growing role as a key exporter. With Europe remaining a major market, the positive trend is a good sign for the economy and may lead to more opportunities for exporters in the future.
