Pakistan’s Exports Expected to Reach Record High in FY2026-27, IMF Projects

Islamabad:** Pakistan’s exports are expected to reach the highest level in the country’s history during the upcoming fiscal year 2026-27, which begins on July 1, according to projections by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

The IMF has forecast growth in Pakistan’s exports, imports, and overall trade volume in the next fiscal year. According to the estimates, the country’s exports are expected to rise to a record **$35.63 billion** in FY2026-27.

The projections indicate that exports during the current fiscal year 2025-26, ending on June 30, are likely to stand at **$31.93 billion**. This would represent a significant increase of nearly **$3.7 billion** in export earnings in the following fiscal year.

The IMF’s outlook also points to an increase in imports and the trade deficit as economic activity strengthens and demand for goods rises. However, the anticipated growth in exports is expected to support foreign exchange earnings and contribute to overall economic stability.

The projected export growth reflects expectations of improved trade performance and stronger contributions from Pakistan’s key export sectors in the coming fiscal year.
