Briefing by News4U · First published
Al Jazeera reports that Pakistan imported goods worth $61.7m from India from July to September, up 69 percent from the same period a year earlier, according to the State Bank of Pakistan. Organic chemicals and pharmaceutical products accounted for 96.2 percent of imports, with vaccines for human use rising to $32.3m. Trade continues despite the April 2025 ban imposed after the Pahalgam attack and the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, with goods reportedly routed through third countries such as Dubai and Malaysia. Former Trade Development Authority chief Muhammad Zubair Motiwala said switching suppliers would raise costs by 40-50 percent for some businesses. [1]
