Pakistan’s economy: Pakistan’s economic difficulties have increased as the country’s trade deficit increased by 46% to $ 3.34 billion in September 2025. The deficit in September last year was $ 2.29 billion. According to data from Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS), imports rose by 14% to $ 5.85 billion, while exports declined by 11.7% to $ 2.5 billion. This has increased the pressure on the country’s delicate economic balance. Pakistan’s trade deficit increased from 32.9% to $ 9.37 billion in the July 2025 quarter. During this period, imports rose 13.5% to $ 16.97 billion, while exports declined by 3.8% to $ 7.6 billion. The trade deficit in September increased by 16.3% compared to last month, ie August 2025. In addition, it can also make it difficult for the country to pay your foreign loans. Significantly, Pakistan, with a population of 25 crores, is currently dependent on financial aid from countries like World Bank, Asian Development Bank, IMF, China, United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. This growing economic instability is a serious challenge for Pakistan policy makers, who now need to take immediate steps to reduce imports and increase exports.
