August 06, 2025 (MLN): Pakistan’s trade deficit stood at $2.75 billion in July 2025, reflecting a 16.02% worsening compared to June 2025, according to the latest data released by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS).

Pakistan’s exports stood at $2.69bn in July 2025, a 8.88% rose from $2.47bn in June 2025.

Meanwhile, imports increase by 12.37% to $5.45bn, compared to $4.85bn in the previous month.

On a year-on-year basis, exports witnessed a meagre increase 16.91% in July 2025, rising from $2.31bn in July 2024.

Imports increased by 29.25% from $4.22bn in July 2024 to $5.45bn in July 2025.

This rise is largely attributed to the gradual easing of earlier policy restrictions and a modest revival in domestic economic activity.

In the previous fiscal year, imports had dropped significantly, particularly in machinery, petroleum, and consumer goods, due to demand suppression, import curbs, and overall economic weakness.

Now, with those curbs relaxed and external conditions more stable, previously delayed import orders are being cleared, resulting in a notable rebound.
