Pakistan’s current account deficit shrank by around 70 percent year-on-year (YoY) to $98 million in August 2026, down from $324 million in the same month last year.
The latest data from the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) showed that the deficit stood at $445 million in July 2026, which was revised upward from the previously reported $328 million.
For the first two months of Fiscal Year 2026-27 (2MFY27), the current account deficit reached $543 million, down 36 percent YoY from $853 million recorded during the same period of the previous fiscal year.
According to Topline Securities, the narrower monthly deficit in August was mainly supported by an improvement in the goods trade balance. The goods trade deficit narrowed by $127 million month-on-month to around $3 billion.
During the month, imports stood at approximately $5.5 billion, while exports were recorded at around $2.5 billion.
