Pakistan posted a surplus of more than 116 per cent in trade with North America in 2012-13 as its exports exceeded imports by over $2 billion.
The region, especially the United States, has emerged as a leading exports destination for Pakistan’s products on the back of a string of facilitation measures taken in the last decade.
According to the Ministry of Commerce, Pakistan’s exports to North America stood at $3.873bn in FY13 as against $3.854bn in FY12, reflecting a marginal increase of 0.52pc.
