In a significant development, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on Monday announced that Pakistan’s current account has moved from a deficit to a surplus.

The surplus came on the back of a significant increase in remittance inflows during the month, which clocked in at $3.18 billion, reflecting an increase of 11% on a yearly basis.

In September 2025, the country’s total export of goods and services amounted to $3.43 billion, up nearly 5% as compared to $3.28 billion in the same month of the previous year.
