Last week, it was reported that Pakistan recorded a current account surplus of $2.1 billion in the fiscal year 2024–25, according to the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP).
According to details surfaced on Friday, this marked the first annual surplus in 14 years. This compared to a deficit of $2 billion in the preceding fiscal year.
