Karachi: Pakistan has achieved its first current account surplus in 14 years, recording a $2.1 billion surplus for the fiscal year 2025. The surplus was bolstered by a $328 million surplus in June 2025, driven primarily by a reduced trade deficit.

In June, Pakistan’s trade deficit contracted to $2.4 billion, a result of a 9% month-on-month decrease in imports. Simultaneously, the fiscal year saw an 11% year-on-year increase in import demand, reflecting an improved domestic economic environment.

Exports also contributed positively, with a 4% year-on-year growth. Throughout the year, remittances consistently surpassed the trade deficit, and the services deficit remained modest.

Foreign inflows realized in the final month of the fiscal year supported the achievement of a $14 billion foreign exchange reserves target, further solidifying the country’s fiscal position.
