EXPORT AND IMPORT

• Pakistan's imports are showing rising trend at a relatively

faster rate (18.0 percent) due to the increased economic
activity as part of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC),
particularly in the Energy sector. The construction projects
under CPEC require heavy machinery that has to be imported.
It is also observed that the economy is currently being led
both by investments as well as consumption, resulting in
relatively higher levels of imports.
OVERVIEW OF FY2018 TRADE
In addition to its southern coastline along the Arabian Sea and Gulf of Oman,
Pakistan shares land borders with China in the northeast, India to the east, Iran
to the southwest and Afghanistan to the west.

• Pakistan shipped US$23.7 billion worth of products around the globe in 2018.
• That figure represents just 0.1% of overall global exports estimated at
$17.546 trillion for 2018.
CONCLUSION:

After the above analysis, it can be observed that the ratio

of imported good has reached an alarming ratio as
compared to the exported goods. In order to bring a
balance in between the ratio of imports and exports, our
country must first stop depending upon other countries for
its goods and start developing goods of its own.

Only then, will it be able to reduced the ratio of annual

imports and become one of the Developed countries of the
World.
GENERAL KNOWLEDGES

giving it a PPP GDP per capita of 5,709 in 2018,
