A case study of Pakistan’s exports in post covid-19 scenario
Keywords:
Export, Pakistan, Covid-19, Case study, Regression analysis, Global supply chain managementAbstract
Exports are vital for a country's growth, balancing demand and enhancing international competitiveness. A higher export ratio safeguards the economy, generates foreign exchange, and funds job-creating projects. As a result, export maximization has consistently been a top priority for Pakistan's governments, driving sustainable development and growth. A quantitative research method was used to examine the research questions. This research found the impact of COVID-19 on global trade, focusing on Pakistan's exports. Data from various authentic sources were analyzed, comparing export states before and after the pandemic. The study examined the effects of COVID-19 on Pakistan's economy and the government's efforts to support the industry and revive exports. Results show that while COVID-19 severely affected Pakistan's exports, government actions eventually helped boost industrial operations and export growth.
