Pakistan\u2019s bilateral trade with Central Asian states, along with Afghanistan and Azerbaijan, surged to $2.41 billion in FY25, showing a sharp increase from $1.92 billion in the previous fiscal year.
\nPakistan\u2019s exports to these countries surged to $1.77 billion, while imports were recorded at $641 million. This represents a clear recovery from FY24, when exports were recorded at $1.34 billion and imports reached $581 million, said a documents available with Wealth Pakistan.
\nAfghanistan continues to dominate as Pakistan\u2019s largest trading partner in the region, with exports rising to $1.39 billion and imports reaching $612.5 million.
\nKazakhstan has also emerged as a significant partner, with exports from Pakistan increasing to $250.8 million while Uzbekistan followed with $91.4 million in exports and $20.3 million in imports in FY25.
\nOther partners, including Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Azerbaijan, maintained smaller yet consistent shares in bilateral trade.
\nThe regional trade context highlights enormous untapped potential. Central Asian countries managed a massive $318.01 billion in global trade during FY24, yet Pakistan\u2019s share in this remains under $0.5 billion.
\nThe Pakistan-Central Asia transit trade stood at $410 million in FY25, signalling growing reliance on Pakistan\u2019s corridors for regional connectivity.
\nExperts underline that while the current trade growth is encouraging, Pakistan\u2019s real opportunity lies in establishing direct connectivity and strategic trade routes with the Central Asian bloc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
