Between July and November 2024-25, Pakistan’s exports to the United States increased by 9.29%, reaching $2.512 billion, up from $2.299 billion during the same period last year, according to data from the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP).
Exports to China, however, fell by 13.93%, dropping to $1.053 billion. The United Kingdom continued to be Pakistan’s third-largest export market, with exports totaling $935.018 million.
Exports to countries like the UAE, Germany, and the Netherlands showed positive growth. On the other hand, exports to Italy and Spain saw slight declines.
One notable development was the significant rise in exports to Afghanistan, which surged to $406.674 million. This indicates a strong demand for Pakistani goods in the Afghan market.
Overall, the data presents a mixed picture of Pakistan’s exports during this period. While some markets, like the US, showed solid growth, other markets like China and certain European countries experienced a slowdown.
This mixed performance suggests that while some export sectors are thriving, others may need attention to boost their growth.
