Smuggling on the Rise: Pakistan's Economy at Risk

Illegal trade is exploding in Pakistan, with smuggled goods replacing a staggering 59% of legitimate products across key sectors like cigarettes, electronics, and even food. This rampant smuggling translates to a whopping 11.25% of Pakistan’s GDP lost to tax evasion – a yearly hemorrhage of Rs. 310 billion from just five industries!

The situation is worsening rapidly. Between 2014 and 2018, the volume of smuggled goods tripled. This not only deprives the government of vital revenue but also cripples domestic businesses and weakens entire industries.
