Pakistan’s imports from Iran continued to grow during the opening months of the current fiscal year, underscoring the strengthening trade relationship between the two neighboring countries despite regional and economic challenges.
According to the latest trade figures, Pakistan imported goods worth $248 million (around Rs. 68.7 billion) from Iran during the first two months of the fiscal year. This marks a notable increase from the $212 million recorded during the same period a year earlier.
The data shows that imports from Iran rose by approximately 17 percent year-on-year, reflecting increased commercial activity and sustained demand for Iranian products in the Pakistani market.
The growth comes at a time when the region continues to face geopolitical tensions, border-related issues, and economic uncertainty. Nevertheless, trade between the two countries has remained resilient, with import volumes continuing to rise.
Official statistics also indicate that Pakistan imported goods worth $1.395 billion from Iran during FY2025-26, representing a 12 percent increase compared to the previous fiscal year.
The upward trend highlights the expanding role of Iran in Pakistan’s import market. Over the past several years, bilateral trade has grown significantly, with imports from Iran increasing from roughly $440 million in FY2019-20 to nearly $1.4 billion in FY2025-26.
This steady growth reflects deeper economic ties between the two countries and ongoing efforts to boost cross-border trade and commercial cooperation.
If current trends continue, Iran’s importance as a trading partner for Pakistan could increase further, supporting broader economic engagement between the neighboring nations in the years ahead.
