Leveraging US tariffs can lift Pakistan\'s exports

A delegation of the Pakistan American Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce visited the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) and met with LCCI President Faheemur Rehman Saigol. The LCCI president said that the United States is Pakistan's largest export destination, with exports reaching around $6 billion last year. He said that by effectively using the US tariff structure, Pakistan can increase its exports to $10 billion. He pointed out that Pakistan has mostly focused on traditional exports, especially garments, but now it needs to explore new products and sectors to boost exports. He stressed the importance of moving beyond the five traditional sectors and focusing on IT, minerals, agriculture and other emerging areas, which are also being prioritised by the government and the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC).
