Pakistan’s exports showed strong momentum in the first two months of FY 2025-26, with the United States, the United Kingdom, and China emerging as the top destinations, according to State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) data.
Exports to the US jumped 17.02%, reaching $1.11 billion compared to $950 million in the same period last year. The UK followed with exports worth $385 million, reflecting a 5.11% growth. China secured third place, importing $354 million worth of Pakistani goods, up from $323 million last year.
Among other major markets, exports to Germany increased to $305 million from $287 million, while shipments to Spain rose to $242 million from $231 million. Italy also recorded growth, with exports climbing to $215 million.
However, some destinations witnessed a decline. Exports to the UAE fell to $320 million from $400 million, Afghanistan dropped to $109 million from $146 million, and Turkiye saw a sharp fall to $28 million from $64 million. Similarly, shipments to Belgium and Saudi Arabia also registered slight declines.
Despite these mixed trends, Pakistan’s export performance to its top markets highlights resilience, with strong demand from Western economies driving growth at the start of the fiscal year.
