As per the central bank's latest data, on a cumulative basis, the country recorded a surplus of $1,640mn during Jul-Nov FY21 as compared to a deficit of $1,745mn in the same period last year.
The SBP further said that in contrast to the previous five years, the current account has been in surplus throughout FY21 due to an improved trade balance and a sustained increase in remittances. In Nov20, both exports and imports picked up, reflecting a recovery in external demand and domestic economic activity, highlighted SBP.

“This turnaround in the current account, together with improvement in financial inflows, raised SBP’s Foreign Exchange reserves by around $1bn in Nov20,” revealed the central bank. At $13.1bn, they are now at their highest level in 3 years.
