In February 2025, Pakistan’s trade deficit widened by 33.4% compared to the same month last year, reaching $2.3 billion, up from $1.7 billion.
This increase is attributed to a 10% rise in imports, totaling $4.74 billion, and a 5.6% decline in exports, which fell to $2.4 billion.
The growing trade deficit underscores challenges in Pakistan’s external sector and highlights the need for strategies to boost exports and manage import levels effectively.
