Pakistan’s trade deficit with 9 neighbouring countries widens to $16bn in FY26

Pakistan’s trade deficit with nine neighbouring countries widened to $16 billion in fiscal year 2026, according to a report in Dawn Business.

The report said the gap in trade with the nine countries expanded during the period, underscoring Pakistan’s continued reliance on imports from its regional partners. No further breakdown was included in the feed summary.

The widening deficit points to an uneven trade relationship with nearby economies, with Pakistan spending far more on goods bought from these countries than it earned from exports to them. The report was based on a monitored public feed.
