The total trade volume between the two countries has also more than doubled in the five year period from $2 billion to $4.4 billion.
The trade balance is in favour of the UAE mainly due to import of petroleum, iron ore, plastic material, chemical products and semi-manufactured gold by Pakistan.
Pakistan's outgoing commercial counsellor, Najeeb R. Abbasi, explained that Pakistan was able to double its exports to the UAE after Pakistani businessmen created a foothold in the UAE. The exporters improved the quality of their goods and increased their participation in exhibitions in the UAE, the Pakistan government provided export incentives, aggressive marketing was done by the traders and the mission, and the WTO provided a level field for textiles along with the introduction of stiff reformative measures.
