Pakistan’s exports to the United States have reached $3 billion in the first six months of the fiscal year, showing steady growth. The increase strengthens Pakistan’s trade position, resulting in a $1.36 billion surplus. This trend highlights rising bilateral commerce amid global trade uncertainties.
According to the Ministry of Commerce, imports from the US totaled $1.62 billion during the same period, upholding a favorable trade balance for Pakistan. Last year, Pakistan exported $2.9 billion to the US in the first six months, with total annual exports of $5.28 billion and bilateral trade of $8.71 billion.

Textiles, the country’s largest export sector, generated $2.47 billion, a 4 percent rise from last year. Manufacturing and mining exports increased 3 percent to $434 million, while agricultural and food products grew 9 percent to $99 million, reflecting strong sectoral performance.
Experts said these gains demonstrate a resilient export sector despite challenges, including global market uncertainties and US tariffs on Pakistani products set at 19 percent, higher than India’s 18 percent. Analysts view this growth as an opportunity to expand trade and investment ties with the US.
