ISLAMABAD: Pakistan recorded a current account surplus of 1.81 billion U.S. dollars during the first 11 months of the current fiscal year from July 2024 to May 2025, compared to a deficit of 1.57 billion dollars in the same period last year, the country's central bank said Tuesday.
The improvement was primarily driven by strong workers' remittances and restrained imports throughout most of the fiscal year, according to the State Bank of Pakistan's (SBP) latest data release.
Remittances inflows reached 3.69 billion dollars in May 2025, recording a year-on-year increase of over 13 percent, according to SBP figures.
