News Desk: Pakistan’s current account surplus increased in February, as per the data from the State of Pakistan (SBP), thanks to the nation’s resilient remittances and lower services imports, The News reported on Tuesday.
The surplus stood at $427 million in February, the most since March 2025. The surplus was $68 million in January this year, while the current account posted a deficit of $85 million in February last year.
The country ran a deficit of $700 million in eight months of this fiscal year, compared with a surplus of $479 million in the same period last year.”The surplus was mainly supported by strong remittance inflows and a notable reduction in the income deficit, which helped offset the still-elevated trade gap,” said Waqas Ghani, head of research at JS Global
