The current account balance is the difference between the government’s foreign income and expenditure, to put it simply a current account deficit occurs when the government’s foreign income is less than expenditure while a current account surplus occurs when foreign income exceeds expenditure.
In March, the country’s current account posted a surplus for the first time since November 2020. During FY22, Pakistan’s current account deficit stood at $17.481 billion. The country’s current account deficit for the first month of the current fiscal year (FY23) i.e. July 2022 was recorded at $1.26 billion.
This is inaccurate. Please check your figures again. Surplus should be clocking around $700 Million this month as well.
