Islamabad: In July 2026-27, Pakistan's trade deficit with Gulf countries narrowed as imports dropped by 44.3% and exports rose by 5.6%. The decline in energy imports, particularly from the UAE, Kuwait, and Qatar, primarily drove this shift. Exports to Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Jordan grew, while imports to Bahrain and Kuwait surged. The decrease in exports to Qatar and the sharp fall in imports from the UAE, Kuwait, and Qatar led to a reduction in Pakistan's trade imbalance with these nations.
