پاکستان کی برآمدی کمزوری: محدود بنیاد اور عالمی تجارت میں کم حصہ معاشی خطرات کا باعث

Pakistan's export structure reveals a deep specialization in a narrow range of products, primarily cotton-based textiles, leather goods, and raw agro-food commodities. Total exports reached $30.67 billion in 2025, capturing only 0.12% of global trade, with bed linen, men's wear, and rice alone accounting for nearly one-third of earnings. This extreme concentration in modest or heavily contested markets, coupled with a lack of diversification into higher-value sectors like pharmaceuticals and electronics, creates significant economic vulnerability. To mitigate risks and foster growth, Pakistan must upgrade existing sectors and strategically enter new, faster-growing global markets. This structural weakness in exports could exert long-term pressure on Pakistan's balance of payments and the Pakistani Rupee.
