A Roadmap to Diversifying Pakistan’s Exports
December 18, 2025

Pakistan has long struggled to broaden and upgrade its export base toward higher value-added products. This chapter uses the product space framework to identify feasible opportunities for Pakistan to move into more sophisticated exports - an essential step for achieving sustained, long-term economic growth.

Insight

Using the The Observatory of Economic Complexity (OEC) database and employing standard estimations of product and economic complexity, Chaudhry and Andaman (2023) incorporate product space analysis and “proximity” metrics to identify new products Pakistan could export based on its current capabilities. Due to low economic complexity of Pakistan, many of these “nearby” products are not significantly high value-added, meaning that diversifying into such products will not improve Pakistan’s export sophistication by a high margin.
