Pakistan posted a current account surplus of $100 million in November 2025, reversing the $291 million deficit recorded in October. The improvement reflects a modest recovery in the country’s external account position after months of pressure.
Trade continued to weigh on the overall balance, with exports of goods totaling $2.27 billion and imports reaching $4.73 billion, resulting in a goods trade deficit of $2.45 billion. The services trade gap was smaller, with a $140 million deficit, as exports of services reached $813 million and imports stood at $953 million.
Workers’ remittances played a key role in supporting the external account, amounting to $3.19 billion and contributing to overall secondary income inflows of $3.46 billion. Despite these gains, primary income outflows, mainly profit and interest payments, totaled $739 million, limiting the net effect. For July–November FY26, the cumulative current account remained in deficit at $812 million.
