Pakistan Posted US 12 Million Dollar Current Account for the Month of April

Pakistan, yet again for the month of April 2025, has posted a US 12 million dollar surplus as Pakistan keeps its commitments towards reforms. This is the first time Pakistan is maintaining a US $1.2 billion surplus in FY 2025, which shows the commitment of the government of Pakistan towards reforms. Pakistan has been struggling to get a loan since 2022 due to lenders' concern that Pakistan needed to first implement proper reforms, which Pakistan has now done.

Pakistan exported US 2.61 billion dollars for the month of April 2025 and exported services worth US 716 million dollars. However, Pakistan imported US$5.327 billion worth of goods and imported services worth US$904 million. It is noteworthy that Pakistan's remittance inflows for the month of April 2025 were US 3.2 billion dollars. 

Moreover, Pakistan managed to post a current account surplus of US$1.2 billion last month, which is the highest current surplus for Pakistan. Moreover, for years Pakistan could not even post a current account surplus of $1, let alone US $1.2 billion. The major reason Pakistan's current account it was higher in the past due to higher imports and lower exports, which were the main reasons for Pakistan's external debt increase and higher taxes. However, now Pakistan has managed to post a current account surplus of US 1.2 billion dollars. Altogether, Pakistan has posted a current account surplus of US $1.88 billion in the nine months of FY 2025, and that is the highest ever that Pakistan's current account surplus has posted, which is the highest ever surplus in decades.
