Pakistan's FY26 fish export figures are under scrutiny due to a significant discrepancy between government claims and official statistics. The Maritime Affairs Minister reported a record $568 million, but the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) recorded only $482 million, a marginal increase from FY25. Experts attribute the difference to varying data collection methodologies between Pakistan Single Window (PSW) and State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) sources. This lack of clear, consistent export data could add to economic uncertainty, potentially influencing investor sentiment towards the Pakistani Rupee and indirectly affecting local gold prices.
