Pakistan’s current account balance posted a surplus of $1.2 billion in March 2025, according to data released by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on Thursday.
According to Arif Habib Limited, this is the highest ever monthly surplus recorded in history.
After posting a deficit in January and February, the current account turned last month with a surplus of $1.195 billion in March 2025.
The record monthly surplus is due to the time high US$ 4.1 billion remittances, according to CEO Topline Securities Mohammed Sohail.
The current account balance posted a surplus of $363 million in the same month of the previous fiscal year i.e. March 2024.
For the first nine months of the current fiscal year (9MFY25), the current account has posted a surplus of $1.859 billion, a massive improvement over a deficit of $1.65 billion reported in the same period of FY24.
