This growth in trade underscores the strengthening economic ties between Pakistan and the US highlighting the potential for further collaboration and mutual benefit.

The significant trade surplus and increased bilateral trade between Pakistan and the US indicate a positive trajectory in their economic relationship. The rise in exports, particularly in textiles and garments, demonstrates Pakistan s competitive advantage in these sectors.

However, the sharp increase in imports suggests a growing demand for American goods, which may impact Pakistan s trade balance in the long term. Strategic measures to enhance export diversification and manage import growth will be crucial for sustaining this positive trend.
