Pakistan's trade deficit with the Middle East narrowed by 4.48% to $13.32 billion in FY26, as exports dipped over 2% to $3.093 billion and imports contracted 4% to $16.413 billion. The nation remains heavily reliant on energy imports from the UAE and Saudi Arabia, with import flows sensitive to geopolitical developments. This improved trade balance could offer some stability to the Pakistani Rupee, potentially influencing local gold and silver prices.
