ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s external current account recorded a surplus of $349 million in October 2024, marking the third consecutive month of surplus and the highest in this period, according to the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on Monday.
The current account reflects a nation’s transactions with the rest of the world, encompassing net trade in goods and services, net earnings on cross-border investments and net transfer payments.
A surplus indicates that a country is exporting more than it is importing, thereby strengthening its foreign exchange reserves.
