Pakistan’s Current Account Surplus Shrinks By Over 99% After 9 Months

Pakistan’s current account surplus has shrunk by around 99 percent to just $8 million after nine months of FY26 despite intermittent monthly gains, compared to $1,674 million in 9MFY25.

In March 2026, the country recorded a current account surplus of $1,070 million, compared to $231 million in February 2026 and $1,275 million in March 2025, according to official data shared by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP).

The 9-month trend remains weak. During 9MFY26, Pakistan posted a marginal surplus of just $8 million, a steep decline from $1,674 million recorded in the same period last year.

While March showed improvement on a month-on-month basis, the overall figures indicate significant pressure on the external account throughout the fiscal year.
