Karachi: The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has shared some welcome news — Pakistan’s current account showed a $110 million surplus in September 2025, signaling signs of economic recovery.
According to the central bank, the country’s imports stood at $5.02 billion while exports reached $2.63 billion during the month. Although the trade deficit remained at $2.39 billion, strong remittance inflows helped Pakistan turn its current account positive.
SBP’s report revealed that the services deficit was $198 million, and when combined with trade and income gaps, the total deficit hit $3.26 billion.
Looking at the bigger picture, the first quarter of the fiscal year (July–September) ended with a current account deficit of $594 million. During this time, exports were valued at $7.9 billion, while imports reached $15.43 billion, showing an overall trade gap of $7.53 billion.
Meanwhile, remittances from overseas Pakistanis continued to play a vital role, bringing in $9.53 billion in just three months — a strong boost for the country’s balance of payments.
Experts believe that the recent improvement hints at better economic management and may signal a more stable outlook for the months ahead.
