Pakistan’s Economy Shows Positive Turn with $1.812 Billion Current Account Surplus in FY 2024-25

Pakistan has recorded a current account surplus of $1.812 billion during the first 11 months of the fiscal year 2024-25, marking a significant turnaround in the country’s external economic position. The data was released by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), highlighting an improvement compared to the deficit of $1.572 billion during the same period in the previous fiscal year 2023.

According to the SBP report, despite a slight current account deficit of $103 million in May 2024, the overall trend remains positive. The previous month, April 2024, saw a current account surplus of $47 million, contributing to the favorable performance.

This development is noteworthy considering that in May 2023 alone, Pakistan had a current account deficit of $235 million. The reversal from deficit to surplus signals strengthening external balances and reflects improvements in trade, remittances, and foreign exchange inflows.

Economists view the surplus as a positive indicator for Pakistan’s macroeconomic stability, providing relief amid ongoing fiscal challenges and paving the way for further economic reforms.

The State Bank’s data will be closely monitored by policymakers and investors as Pakistan seeks to sustain growth and attract foreign investment in the coming months.
