Pakistan’s exports of goods and services to the United States recorded a notable year-on-year increase of 10.72% in the period from June 2024 to June 2025, according to the latest figures released by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP).
The country’s total exports to the US reached $6.028 billion during the 12-month period, up from $5.444 billion recorded between June 2023 and June 2024. The United States remains Pakistan’s single largest export destination, contributing significantly to the country’s foreign exchange earnings and overall trade balance.
The increase in exports to the US is being seen as a positive development amid ongoing efforts by Pakistani businesses to diversify and expand their international market reach. Key export items to the US typically include textiles, garments, surgical instruments, leather goods, and IT services. The continued demand for these goods in American markets helped support the upward trend, despite global economic headwinds and inflationary pressures.
The SBP also reported a broader improvement in Pakistan’s total export performance. Overall exports of goods and services to all countries rose by 4.24% over the same period, reaching $32.295 billion, compared to $30.979 billion in the previous fiscal year.
Trade analysts suggest that the improved export figures reflect both recovery in global demand and the relative competitiveness of Pakistani goods, particularly in textile and value-added sectors. They also pointed to currency stability, government support measures for exporters, and easing global supply chain bottlenecks as contributing factors.
However, despite the gains, economists caution that Pakistan still faces a persistent trade deficit, and sustained growth in exports will be critical for strengthening the country’s external account and foreign exchange reserves.
Looking ahead, trade officials have called for greater investment in export-oriented industries, improved logistics infrastructure, and diversification of export markets beyond traditional destinations such as the US and EU.
Efforts are also underway to boost services exports, particularly in IT and digital services, which have shown steady growth in recent years and are viewed as a key driver of future export expansion.
The government has set an ambitious export target for the next fiscal year, aiming to build on the momentum and enhance Pakistan’s global trade footprint amid a challenging but improving economic landscape.
