Karachi, October 20, 2025: The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on Monday announced that the country’s current account balance turned positive in September 2025, posting a surplus of $110 million.
According to the central bank, the improvement marks a sharp turnaround from the $325 million deficit recorded in August, signaling stronger external sector stability.
Economists attributed the surplus mainly to higher remittance inflows from overseas Pakistanis, while exports remained largely unchanged during the month.
The development is expected to ease pressure on Pakistan’s foreign reserves and support the rupee in the short term, though analysts cautioned that sustained improvement will depend on export growth and import control in the coming months.
