It is pertinent to mention that Pakistan’s exports to Japan have jumped by 40 percent in the first quarter (January – March) during the current year as compared with the last quarter of 2020 i.e. (October – December).
According to trade figures released by Ministry of commerce, the increase is more than 47 percent when compared to the same period last year i.e. January – March 2020.
This trend highlights that Pakistan is coming out of the challenges to international trade posed by the current pandemic.
Covid related limitations had brought a slight negative impact on trade between Pakistan and Japan towards the end of last year; however, Pakistan’s exports to Japan bounced back in high numbers.
This multiplying trend observed in bilateral trade is mainly associated with focused efforts to diversify the export mix of Pakistan for Japan.
