ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s trade figures for June 2025 show a mixed picture, with a slight dip in exports and imports compared to the previous month, but some positive signs when looking at the bigger picture over the past year.
In June 2025, Pakistan’s exports were valued at $2.543 billion. This was a small decrease of nearly 5% compared to May 2025. On the other hand, imports also went down, reaching $4.866 billion, about 7% lower than the previous month.
This means that in June, Pakistan imported more goods than it exported, leading to a trade deficit of $2.323 billion. While this is still a significant gap, it’s actually a bit smaller than the deficit seen in May 2025, which was $2.566 billion. So, the gap between what we buy and what we sell internationally is shrinking slightly.
Looking back a year, to June 2024, our exports have stayed pretty stable, with a very slight decrease of less than 1%. Imports, however, have also seen a small reduction of about 2% compared to last year. This indicates a relatively consistent trade environment year-on-year for the month of June.
When we consider the entire financial year, from July 2024 to June 2025, the overall trend is more encouraging. Over this period, Pakistan’s exports grew by 4.67%, reaching $32.106 billion. Imports also increased by 6.57%, totaling $58.380 billion.
This shows that despite monthly fluctuations, the country has been actively involved in more international trade over the past year. The cumulative trade deficit for this period stands at $26.274 billion, which is a 9% increase compared to the same period last year.
