Chief Executive Officer Pakistan Furniture Council (PFC) Mian Kashif Ashfaq Sunday disclosed that for first time in Pakistan’s history, the country’s exports to Italy exceeds the imports from Italy depicting upward trends in promotion of bilateral trade between the two countries. Talking to a delegation of exporters and importers led by honorary Investment Consular and Tourism Ambassador for Italy Muhammad Sheheryar Khan, he said bilateral trade volume between Italy and Pakistan has exponentially grown from € 1.42 billion in 2019 to €1.52 billion in 2021. He said Ambassador of Italy to Pakistan, Andreas Ferrarese, is a key driving force behind the further cementing trade relations with both countries.

In the same period, Italian exports to Pakistan saw an increase of 48.6%, with a total value of €754.06 million.
