Pakistan’s top commerce body eyes $3 billion exports to Bangladesh

ISLAMABAD: The Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) on Thursday eyed increasing Islamabad’s exports to Bangladesh to $3 billion within a couple of years, as the two countries aim to reset ties after years of bitter relations.

The development came during the 48th DyeChem Bangladesh 2025 Expo in Dhaka, an international trade exhibition in the city for textile and chemical industries.

FPCCI Senior Vice President Saquib Fayyaz Magoon inaugurated the Pakistan Pavilion at the venue alongside Pakistan’s High Commissioner to Bangladesh Imran Haider.

“Saquib Fayyaz Magoon, SVP FPCCI, has stated that Pakistan’s exports to Bangladesh can be enhanced to $3 billion within a couple of years from the current export volume of approximately $800 million,” the FPCCI said in a statement.

“Whereas medium-term export potential to Bangladesh stands at $5–7 billion.”
