What happened
Pakistan’s hosiery and knitwear export industry is facing growing pressure due to rising production expenses, high freight rates, and increasing regulatory costs. The Pakistan Hosiery Manufacturers and Exporters Association urged the federal government to take immediate steps to protect export orders and maintain international competitiveness. The association called for a consultative meeting involving the Ministry of Finance, State Bank of Pakistan, and Federal Board of Revenue.

Why it matters
The industry is confronting a combination of higher manufacturing costs, expensive freight, heavy taxation, and liquidity constraints. These issues, coupled with weak international demand, weaken the sector’s ability to compete globally and erode Pakistan’s position in apparel markets.
