Pakistan’s goods exports reached a record $11.4 billion in the first four months of the current fiscal year 2026-27, rising 8.8 per cent compared with the same period last year, 24News reported on Sunday.
Exports stood at $10.4 billion during July to October of the previous fiscal year, and the latest figures mark the highest four-month total ever recorded for the period, according to the report.
The figures were also reported by Azaad Urdu, which described the rise as a significant development for the economy, with exports growing steadily in the opening months of the fiscal year.
The government has linked the growth to measures introduced by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in the federal budget, along with a coordinated approach by the Finance Team and other government institutions to support businesses and industry.
According to the government, the steps include reduced taxes and surcharges for businesses and industry, particularly exporters, faster tax refunds, and better use of funds set aside for export development.
The government has also increased access to low-cost financing for exporters and introduced dedicated financing support for small and medium-sized exporters, with a particular focus on micro and small enterprises.
Officials said these measures, together with coordinated institutional efforts, are helping to create a more enabling business environment and to strengthen Pakistan’s export capacity despite persistent regional and global challenges.
The government said it remains committed to further facilitating businesses, industry and investors through a more competitive policy environment, improved access to finance and sustained structural reforms, with the direction set towards stronger exports, greater investment and private-sector-led, export-driven and sustainable growth.
Goods exports are one of Pakistan’s main sources of foreign exchange, and their performance is closely watched as the country works to strengthen its external position. The July to October window covers the first four months of the fiscal year, which began on 1 July.
The figures were shared in a government social media post, which said the record performance reflected the impact of the measures introduced in the federal budget and the coordinated approach of the Finance Team and government institutions.
The post also said the government remains committed to facilitating businesses, industry and investors, and to building a private-sector-driven, export-led growth path, even as regional and global conditions remain difficult for exporters.
