Pakistan's Central Asia Trade Faces Hurdles
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s exports to five Central Asian Countries (CACs) fell year on year by 8.62 per cent in the first 10 months of 2025-26.

Pakistan's exports to five Central Asian nations have decreased by 8.62% in the first ten months of the 2025-26 fiscal year, totaling $147.992 million.

While Pakistan has initiated exports via Iran, the longer transit distances have limited the overall trade capacity.
The difficulties in trade with Central Asia impact Pakistan's export diversification and economic growth strategies.
