      <title>Pakistan’s textile exports hit 26-month high</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330385973/pakistans-textile-exports-hit-26-month-high</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pakistan’s textile exports soared to a 26-month high in August, reaching $1.64 billion—a 13% increase compared to the same month last year.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This surge is credited to supportive government policies and the efforts of the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Data from the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics indicates that textile exports were $1.46 billion in August of the previous year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Notable growth was seen in various sectors, with knitwear and bedwear exports rising by 15%, while ready-made garment exports jumped by 28%.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Analysts suggest that Pakistan’s strategic position in the global textile market has been bolstered by political instability in Bangladesh and international sanctions on China, prompting global importers to seek alternatives.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Shagufta Irshad, a research analyst at JS Global, highlighted that these factors have enhanced Pakistan’s appeal as a favorable market for textile products.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Interloop Ltd, a leading textile company in Pakistan, anticipates continued growth in exports, which could improve profit margins and positively impact the country’s economic outlook.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The report emphasizes that with the current global dynamics, Pakistan has a significant opportunity to further boost its exports by enhancing product quality in the international market.&lt;/p&gt;
