flag Pakistan lifts gold trade ban after IMF-backed reforms, citing low smuggling and need to boost exports.

flag Pakistan has lifted its ban on gold imports and exports after the federal cabinet approved the reinstatement of the Statutory Regulatory Order, reversing a restriction imposed in May 2025 over smuggling concerns. flag The suspension, initially 60 days, was extended due to monitoring needs. flag Recent data showed minimal gold imports in early 2025, down from the same period in 2024. flag The Ministry of Commerce updated trade regulations, and the move was welcomed by business leaders who said it helps protect export contracts and restore international confidence. flag The decision is part of broader economic reforms, including agreements with the IMF on tax and budget policies.
