Trade talks: Finance minister Aurangzeb leaves for US
During the visit, final discussions on the Pakistan-US trade dialogue would take place, it added.
'There are vast opportunities for partnership between the two countries in key sectors such as IT, minerals, and agriculture.'
Pakistan has been seeking to fetch a trade deal with the US since after President Donald Trump announced reciprocal tariffs on countries around the world in April this year.
Pakistan formally initiated talks with the US on the reciprocal tariffs in May, with both sides exchanging viewpoints through an engagement with the understanding that technical level detailed discussions would follow in the coming weeks.
Finance ministry on Monday said the formation of a trade agreement between the two countries would benefit both economies.
'Strong trade and economic relations are a key pillar of Pakistan-US bilateral ties.
'The United States is Pakistan's largest trading partner.
'Pakistan is keen to expand bilateral trade relations into both traditional and non-traditional sectors,' the statement read.
Bilateral ties between Pakistan and US have improved in recent times, with Trump's holding a rare meeting with Field Marshal Asim Munir at the White House.

'Mera Brand Pakistan' Expo to boost trust
LAHORE The "Mera Brand Pakistan" Expo is set to take place at the Lahore Expo Centre on August 14 and 15, aiming to promote Pakistani products, support local industries, and foster economic self-reliance. The announcement was made at a joint press conference hosted by the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) and the Pakistan Business Forum on Monday. Speakers underscored that the expo is not just a commercial exhibition, but part of a broader national movement to build trust in local manufacturing and strengthen the "Made in Pakistan" identity. LCCI President Mian Abuzar Shad said the time had come to end reliance on imported goods and recognise the capacity of Pakistan's domestic industries. "Our national industries have remarkable potential - they only need trust and promotion," he said. "The Mera Brand Pakistan Expo is designed to give every local manufacturer and brand a platform to present their products to the public, buyers, and exporters." He added Pakistan must become self-sufficient to meet its needs and that pride in national production and participation in such expos is essential. The key to Pakistan's growth lies in boosting exports, and that is only possible by enhancing the global identity of Pakistani products. LCCI Senior Vice President Engineer Khalid Usman called the event a major step towards economic independence. He said the exhibition has specially created space for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). "Economic stability is impossible without the growth of local production," he stated. The two-day event will feature a diverse range of Made-in-Pakistan products, including textiles, cosmetics, food, household items, furniture, footwear, leather goods, engineering products, and other daily-use essentials. Ijaz Tanveer, one of the event organisers, said that every small industrialist in Pakistan has the potential to drive change. "This is a moment for our youth entrepreneurs to use this platform and help Pakistan transition from a consumer market to a producer economy," he said. Chaudhry Mohsin Bashir said the expo reflected a vision of national unity and shared purpose. "We must work together to take Pakistani brands to the global stage," he said. The LCCI office-bearers reiterated that "Mera Brand Pakistan" is more than just a trade fairit is a national initiative focused on self-sufficiency, economic stability, and international branding of Pakistani goods. They said the expo offers a valuable opportunity for local manufacturers to connect with new markets and expand their reach.

Rupee extends momentum
The Pakistani rupee continued its upward momentum against the US dollar on Monday, appreciating by 0.02% in the inter-bank market. At the close of trading, the local currency was quoted at 282.66, marking a modest gain of six paisa. During the previous week, the rupee had advanced by 73 paisa, or 0.26%, closing at 282.72 compared with 283.45 a week earlier, according to data from the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). AKD Securities noted that the rupee has strengthened by Rs2.31 against the greenback over the past nine trading sessions. On the global front, the US dollar edged slightly higher on Monday after suffering a blow last week from disappointing jobs data and political turbulence following President Donald Trump's dismissal of a top labour official. US Labour Department figures released on Friday showed job growth in July fell short of expectations, while non-farm payrolls for the previous two months were sharply revised downwards by 258,000, highlighting further weakness in the labour market and bolstering expectations of imminent interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Meanwhile, gold prices in Pakistan rose, tracking gains in the international market, where the precious metal extended its upward momentum for a third consecutive session. The rally was driven by renewed expectations of interest rate cuts by the US Fed, following the release of softer economic data last week. According to the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association, the price of gold per tola increased by Rs500 to settle at Rs359,500. Meanwhile, the price of 10 grams rose by Rs429 to Rs308,213. The latest uptick comes after a sharp jump on Saturday, when gold surged by Rs6,100 per tola, reaching Rs359,000. Commenting on the market trend, Interactive Commodities Director Adnan Agar said gold prices continued to show strength. "Monday's high was $3,385 and the low at $3,344. The market was later hovering around $3,378. If it closes above $3,375-80, there is potential for gold to test $3,440-50 levels again," he said. He added that Friday's economic data came out in favour of gold, boosting sentiment and triggering a recovery in global prices. "If gold maintains its strength and closes above key levels, further upside is likely in the coming sessions," Agar noted. Spot gold rose 0.3% to $3,373.22 per ounce as of 1315 GMT, its highest level since July 24. US gold futures gained 0.8% to $3,427.10. "The odds are stronger now for a rate cut in September and even stronger for another rate cut in December. That, coupled with the headwinds of inflation, I think, is pretty bullish for gold," said Daniel Pavilonis, Senior Market Strategist at RJO Futures.

KATI hails 12 new Pak-Iran agreements
President of the Korangi Association of Trade and Industry (KATI), Junaid Naqi, has welcomed the signing of 12 ministerial-level agreements between Pakistan and Iran. He said the recent conclusion of negotiations on a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) will boost economic growth and deepen bilateral cooperation. In a statement issued on Monday, Naqi said current trade stands at $3 billion, with Pakistan's share only a third. He stressed that with coordinated efforts, trade could rise to $10 billion. Key sectors include textiles, pharmaceuticals, leather, and food. He urged tapping into Iran's affordable energy to support Pakistan's industries. "Pakistan and Iran have historic ties that have grown stronger over time. Our support during the Iran-Israel and Pakistan-India wars reflects our long-standing solidarity," Naqi stated. The KATI president urged governments to remove trade barriers and support local businesses seeking to enter the Iranian market. He also called for promoting barter trade to accelerate commercial ties. Naqi said the FTA would reduce tariffs, remove trade obstacles, and energise both economies. He urged stronger business-to-business engagement and recommended regular joint exhibitions and B2B meetings. He also pressed for policies to attract both domestic and foreign investment, especially in agriculture and industry. "The Pakistan-Iran Free Trade Agreement has the potential to redefine our economic landscape and help both nations meet their growth targets through enhanced regional cooperation," he concluded. On Sunday, Pakistan and Iran officially agreed to increase trade from $3 billion to $10 billion in talks held in Islamabad between visiting Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. Pezeshkian's visit marked his first official foreign tour since taking office and follows a 12-day war between Iran and Israel in June.
