Answer:
Pakistan imported an estimated US$37.3 billion worth of goods from around the globe in 2019, down by -14% since 2015 and down by -37.3% from 2018 to 2019.
Given Pakistan’s population of 216.6 million people, its total $37.3 billion in 2019 imports translates to an estimated $175 in yearly product demand from every person in the South Asian country.
From a continental perspective and based on 2018 data, suppliers in Asia provide almost three-quarters (73.8%) of total Pakistani imported goods. Smaller percentages originate from Europe (11.9%), North America (6%), Africa (5.3%), Latin America (1.2%) excluding Mexico but including the Caribbean, then Oceania (0.8%) led by Australia.
