PM lauds record current account surplus

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday expressed satisfaction over achieving a record current account surplus in November.

"For the first time in 10 years, Pakistan's current account surplus reaching US$729 million in November 2024 is extremely encouraging for the national economy," the prime minister said in a statement issued by the PM House.

He highlighted that cut in the policy rate by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), gradual decline in inflation rate and increase in the current account surplus were clear evidence of the government's positive economic policies.
