However, there is a notable decline in textile exports from July to December of the current fiscal year, with a 5 percent decrease amounting to $8.28 billion.
According to the Department of Statistics, the previous fiscal year saw the exports in textile sector worth $8.71 billion.
Despite the growth in December, achieving the government’s ambitious target of 25 billion dollars for textile exports in the current financial year seems challenging, as experts predict the fiscal year’s total textile exports to range between $17 to $18 billion.
