March has brought encouraging news for Pakistan’s economy, as the current account surplus soared to a record $1.2 billion, the highest monthly figure in the nation’s history.

This remarkable improvement has contributed to a total current account surplus of $1.8 billion for the first nine months of the fiscal year 2024-25, signaling a positive trend toward economic recovery.

A key factor behind this growth is the unprecedented rise in remittances, which reached $4 billion in March.

Exports experienced a significant annual increase of 8.7%.

Experts believe that these positive economic indicators are enhancing investor confidence, paving the way for greater stability in the economy.
