   Pakistan’s trade deficit rises to $7.1 billion in first two months of FY27

   Most outlets reported the 18% year-on-year increase in Pakistan’s trade deficit, citing the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, with figures ranging from $7.1 billion to $7.12 billion. Several also noted the widening gap was driven by faster import growth compared to exports. A few, like *Profit*, added context that the monthly deficit gap narrowed in August compared to July, though both months remained higher than the same period in the previous year. The framing was largely consistent, with most headlines using terms like “soars,” “widens,” or “rises,” while *Dawn* used the word “alarmingly” to describe the increase.
