Islamabad: A positive news has emerged for the country’s economy, where Pakistan’s current account has become surplus after 14 years. According to data released by the State Bank of Pakistan, Pakistan’s current account was in surplus of $2.1 billion in the fiscal year 2025, which is an important milestone.
The State Bank says that before this, Pakistan’s current account was in surplus for the last time in the fiscal year 2010-11, which was only $214 million. While at the end of the current fiscal year, the current account was in surplus of $328 million in June 2025 alone.
In comparison, the current account was in deficit of $500 million in June 2024, and the total deficit was recorded at $2 billion in the entire fiscal year 2023-24.
According to experts, this improvement has been possible due to an increase in remittances, a decrease in imports, and stability in the currency market. Economic circles have described this development as a welcome sign for the country, which is expected to not only improve the value of the rupee but also restore the confidence of global financial institutions.
