On one hand, India's ruling party is celebrating victory in West Bengal, a state close to Bangladesh. On the other hand, the lines of worry on the forehead of political power in Pakistan's capital Islamabad are becoming deeper. 24 hours after the Bengal election results, such a report has come regarding Pakistan, which has created a stir in Islamabad. No one had any idea that such a report would come. Let us also tell you which such report has come, due to which concern has increased in the whole of Pakistan.
What is the report?
It was said in a report that Pakistan's merchandise trade deficit increased by 20 percent to $32 billion in the first 10 months of the current financial year. Due to this, concerns regarding the country's fragile economy have increased. Citing the official data of Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS), 'The News' reported that the value of imports was more than double that of exports. According to PBS data, during the July-April period of fiscal year 2025-26 (July 1 to June 30), imports increased by nearly seven percent to $57.2 billion, while exports declined by more than six percent to $25.2 billion. Economists have described this difference as putting pressure on foreign exchange reserves and affecting the Pakistani currency.
Got relief from here
According to the report, this decline continued in April 2026, when the monthly trade deficit increased by almost four percent from a year earlier to slightly more than four billion dollars. Monthly exports increased by 14 percent to $2.48 billion, but remained low compared to imports, which increased by 7.5 percent to $6.55 billion. There was some relief on the service trade front. During the July-March period of the financial year 2025-26, the trade deficit in services declined by 6.7 percent to $ 2.15 billion. Service exports increased by 17 percent to $7.35 billion. At the same time, service tax imports increased by about 11 percent to 9.5 billion dollars.
