The commerce minister made the announcement at a press conference at his secretariat office on Sunday, expressing optimism that the target can be achieved by the end of the fiscal year.
He said all existing factors had been taken into account in setting the new export target while unveiling the external trade plan, which has drawn mixed reactions from economists.
In the last fiscal year (2025–26), the export target for goods and services was set at $63.5 billion.

The commerce minister reiterated his belief that the new target is attainable.
Commerce Secretary, senior officials, and representatives from trade bodies were also present at the press conference.
