Pakistan recorded a current account surplus of $12 million in April 2025, as per data from the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). This follows a historic $1.2 billion surplus in March. Despite expectations of a deficit, the surplus was driven by stronger export figures reported by the SBP at $2.6 billion, compared to $2.1 billion noted by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS).
