Pakistan has recorded a moderate rise in imports from Iran during the first seven months of the current fiscal year, reflecting steady growth in trade between the two neighboring countries.
According to official data, imports from Iran have reached around $780 million during this period.
This marks a slight increase compared to the same timeframe last year, indicating gradual improvement in economic activity between the two sides.
Officials said that trade between Pakistan and Iran has been gaining momentum in recent months, supported by ongoing efforts to strengthen bilateral relations.
Both countries have shown interest in expanding cooperation across multiple sectors, including energy, agriculture, and border trade.
In line with this goal, Pakistan and Iran have agreed to significantly increase their total trade volume. The two sides are working toward a target of $10 billion in bilateral trade, which would represent a major jump from current levels.
Experts believe that improved trade ties could benefit both economies by creating new business opportunities and enhancing regional connectivity.
Increased imports from Iran may also help Pakistan meet certain domestic needs, particularly in energy and essential goods.
However, analysts note that achieving the $10 billion target will require consistent policy support, improved infrastructure, and smoother cross-border trade processes.
They also emphasize the importance of stable political and economic conditions to sustain long-term growth.
