Trade between Pakistan and Bangladesh has surpassed the $1 billion mark, marking a significant milestone in economic relations between the two South Asian nations.
According to official trade data, the bilateral trade volume has seen steady growth, driven by exports of textiles, pharmaceuticals, agricultural products, and industrial goods. Pakistan’s key exports to Bangladesh include cotton, cement, and chemicals, while Bangladesh supplies jute, ready-made garments, and seafood to Pakistan.
Economic experts believe the growing trade reflects improving diplomatic ties and the potential for deeper cooperation in key sectors. However, both countries still face trade barriers, including tariffs and logistical challenges, that need to be addressed to further enhance economic collaboration.
With this latest development, business communities in both nations are calling for the revival of the Pakistan-Bangladesh Joint Economic Commission to boost investment and trade opportunities.
