Data of luxury imports in KHAN 2021-2022 yearWhere ever you pick data, it will clearly show that in 2021-2022 reserves went down and import went up touching sky. Do you have courage to show import data? I can show you how import went down 2 month after PDM took over to next one year and onwards.
When PDM took over imports did not rise and it came down dramatically it is opposite to last year of Khan. The reason why reserve went down in PDM era ? Because IMF went away during Khan era by violating their conditions and loan payements and necessary import was still there. PDM government was not getting dollars and dollars were going down due to necessary imports and loan payements; you cannot stop these payements. Now look import before and after Khan government which ruin reserves during Khan era:
Pakistan Imports
Imports in Pakistan decreased to 1458331 PKR Million in May from 1570883 PKR Million in April of 2025. This page provides - Pakistan Imports - actual values, historical data, forecast, chart, statistics, economic calendar and news.tradingeconomics.com
set it to last year of Khan government and during PDM period.
I challenge you; share import data before and after Khan era from State Bank and whatever web site or whatever you like. Do you have courage? This will be last nail in your coffin and our discussion will end. Don't run away and post related import data only.
The total imports in Jul-Apr, FY2022 increased to $ 65.5 billion ($ 44.7 billion last year),
thus posting a growth of 46.5 percent. The main commodities imported were Petroleum
products ($8.5 billion), Medicinal products ($ 3.8 billion), Petroleum crude ($ 4.2 billion),
Liquefied Natural gas ($ 3.7 billion), Palm Oil ($ 3.1 billion), Plastic materials ($ 2.6
billion) and Iron & Steel ($ 2.4 billion). In addition, other commodities include Textile
machinery, Electrical machinery & apparatus, Power generating machinery, and raw
cotton. Higher imports of these commodities also indicate growth in the related sectors.
This is called necessary import.
