ISLAMABAD: Pakistan recorded its largest current account (CA) surplus of 2026, posting a $427 million surplus in February 2026, the highest since March 2025 when it stood at $1.28 billion, Advisor to Finance Minister Khurram Schehzad posted on X.
He said, this also marks the second consecutive monthly surplus, following a $60 million surplus in January 2026, signaling continued improvement in Pakistan’s external sector.
The back-to-back surpluses reflect strong remittance inflows, improving value-added exports, and disciplined imports (growth-driven), strengthening macroeconomic stability and easing pressure on external financing.
Though challenges exist given the regional conflict, however, Pakistan’s stablized external account with adequate buffers, is a key milestone for sustainable economic recovery and investor confidence, he added.
