Furniture sector output surges 86.79% in July as LSM grows 8.99%
EP News: The Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) has reported a significant improvement in Large Scale Manufacturing (LSM) output, which rose 8.99 percent year-on-year in July 2025.
Within this overall growth, the furniture sector emerged as a standout performer, recording a remarkable 86.79 percent increase in production compared to the same month last year.
