Low Export Levels: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has expressed concerns that Pakistan’s exports are significantly lower than those of neighboring countries like Bangladesh, India, Vietnam, and Thailand .

Reasons for Low Exports: The IMF attributes Pakistan’s low exports to several factors, including:

    – Payment restrictions

    – Tariff and non-tariff barriers to imports

    – Exchange rates

Recommendations for Improvement: To enhance its export performance, the IMF suggests that Pakistan should:

    – Foster a competitive environment in global markets for exports and imports

    – Increase value addition in local industries

    – Adopt modern technology to boost production and value addition

Request for Export Enhancement Plan: The IMF has requested a plan from Pakistan’s economic team to increase exports and improve the country’s export performance.
