Pakistan’s Trade Deficit Rises 44% to $2.75 Billion in July
Pakistan’s trade deficit reached $2.75 billion in July 2025, showing a sharp increase of over 44 percent compared to $1.90 billion in July last year. The deficit also rose by 16 percent from June 2025, when it stood at $2.372 billion.
Exports in July 2025 increased to $2.69 billion, showing a year-on-year rise of 16.9 percent and a monthly rise of 8.9 percent. However, imports grew even faster, reaching $5.4 billion — up 29.2 percent compared to July last year and 12.4 percent higher than June 2025.
This growing gap between imports and exports led to a higher trade deficit, highlighting ongoing challenges in balancing Pakistan’s international trade.
