Therefore, the focus of recent research work by a team headed by Dr. Azam Chaudhry of the Lahore School of Economics was to identify potential export areas that address the chronically underperforming export sector. The research team argued that in order to address this issue, it is crucial to identify potential new exports that are not only relatively closer to the current export basket but also those products that have the potential to lead to higher value-added exports.
