Abstract:
The Purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of the energy crisis on readymade
garment industry export of Pakistan. The Pakistan readymade garment industry
contributes 13% of the total textile export of Pakistan. Pakistan exports readymade
garment to major countries like United States of America and European countries. This
sector faces electricity shortfall due to which its annual export declines. In order to check
the impact of electricity crisis on the readymade garment industry export, regression
technique is used, the sample period is 1995 to 2013 data on energy generation and
readymade garment industry export is collected from the handbook of statistics on
Pakistan economy. After analysis it was found that readymade garment export of
Pakistan is affected by energy crisis. The readymade garment industry can regain its
global image only if government takes serious measures in reducing the energy crisis and
normalized and sustain the supply of electricity to the readymade garment industry in
order to increase the export of the country.
