Pakistan's merchandise exports to North America rose 4.65 per cent to $1.826 billion in the first quarter (July-September) of fiscal year 2026-27, up from $1.745bn a year earlier, while imports from the region jumped 60.58pc to $841.31 million, according to State Bank of Pakistan data.
Exports to the United States grew 4.44pc to $1.716bn, while imports from the US surged 45.44pc to $659.23m. The US accounts for nearly 94pc of Pakistan's exports to North America.
The jump in imports follows an agreement with Washington under which Pakistan is buying additional US goods to narrow the trade imbalance. In FY26, exports to the US rose only 1.55pc to $6.125bn, while imports from the US climbed nearly 39pc to $3.265bn.
In the same quarter, exports to Canada rose 7.53pc to $109.72m, shipments to Latin America surged 118.64pc to $21.58m, and exports to Central America, led by Mexico, stayed flat at $45.27m.
