There was a 620 million dollar increase in exports to 5.1 billion dollars in August 2024. At the beginning of the fiscal year 2024–25, Pakistan’s trade deficit decreased by 4.2%, from 3.751 billion dollars to 3.6 billion dollars, thanks in part to this growth.

Nonetheless, there was a 1.3% annual decline in the importation of high-duty products like cars, appliances, and necessities like clothing and shoes.
