Pakistan’s goods exports reached $11.4 billion in the first four months of fiscal year 2026-27, the government said on Sunday. That is an increase of 8.8 per cent from $10.4 billion in the same period last year.
Government credits budget measures for export gains
In a statement posted on X, the government credited measures introduced by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in the federal budget. It also pointed to coordinated work by the finance team and other government institutions to support exporters and businesses.
The steps include tax and surcharge cuts for businesses, particularly exporters, along with faster tax refunds. Officials also cited better use of export development funds and an expanded range of concessional financing.
Financing for small exporters and competitiveness goals
The government said dedicated financing is available for small and medium-sized enterprise exporters, especially micro and small firms. It argued that the measures are creating a more business-friendly environment and helping Pakistan compete in international markets despite regional and global challenges.
The government reaffirmed its pledge to support businesses, industry and investors through a more competitive policy framework, better access to finance and structural reforms. It said the aim is to attract investment and achieve sustainable, export-led growth.
