Islamabad – Pakistan’s exports are projected to hit a record high of $35.63 billion in FY2026–27, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). This represents an increase from $31.93 billion expected in FY2025–26, signaling strong year-on-year growth. Analysts note that this export surge could boost the country’s external sector and strengthen economic confidence. However, the IMF also predicts an increase in imports during the same period due to higher economic activity, which could result in a wider trade deficit despite rising exports. The outlook highlights the need for balanced trade and policies to maintain sustainable growth.
