Pakistan sets new record of merchandise and services exports.

It's a loop. We're probably losing people due to a lack of local opportunity plus issues re: safety, law and order, health care coverage, etc. The problem is that these things are all abstract, not as easy to sell an uneducated voter base as highways.

Low salaries are prime reason of this brain drain. I mean if a person spend 5-10 lac at least in private unis to get degrees obviously he/she will not be satisfied. I have so many friends who gave up their engineering jobs in Pakistan either to start their own buisness or other jobs. It is tragic indeed that we are destroying ourselves in such a manner.

Pakistan inching ever closer to beating Bangladesh in export figures.

Pakistan’s November exports were $3.5 B vs Bangladesh’s $4B. With our highest ever export growth rate and the second half of fiscal year projected to show even better growth numbers we may be able to surpass their monthly export figures in the next six months in sha Allah.

Export sees 31.26% growth in November

However, jute products keep registering a fall

Bangladesh is not our target they just had more exports then Pakistan from last few years.
