Islamabad: Big news has come out for Pakistan’s economy. After a long gap of 14 years, Pakistan’s current account has turned into a surplus. According to data released by the State Bank of Pakistan, the country’s current account was in surplus of $2.1 billion in fiscal year 2025.
This is the first time that Pakistan’s current account has gone into surplus, while it has been facing a continuous deficit since the fiscal year 2010-11. At that time (2010-11), Pakistan’s current account was in surplus of only $214 million, while now at the end of June 2025, the current account was in surplus of $328 million.
In comparison, in June 2024, the current account was in deficit by $500 million, and during the entire fiscal year 2023-24, the country had to bear a current account deficit of $2 billion.
According to the State Bank, this positive development has been possible due to improvement in exports, control in imports, and an increase in remittances abroad.
According to economists, the current account surplus will play an important role in reducing external financial pressure for Pakistan, while it is also likely to have a positive impact on the value of the rupee.
