Abstract: The aim of study is to analyze the performance of Textile sector in Pakistan covering the pre–crisis period, post crisis period and period of crisis as well. For this purpose data were collected from overall textile sector from available sources for the period of five years. According to the most of the analysts, financial crisis 2008-09 is serious one after the world wide great depression of 1930’s. The analyses have been conducted on the basis of financial ratios (Profitability, liquidity and activity). The profitability ratios such as returns on assets were affected by financial crisis because returns on asset were decreased in crisis period as compared to cover pre and post crisis and same is the situation of return on equity that was also affected by financial crisis. The earnings per share are also reduced in financial crisis period because before and after crisis earning per share was positive but negative in crisis. The liquidity of this sector was also affected by financial crisis. Turnover of the assets also proved that assets were poorly managed by textile sector in financial crisis period. The results showed that the performance of textile sector had been better in pre-crisis and post-crisis while it was bad during crisis period.
