Current Account Surplus Hits $1 Billion — But Driven by Compression, Not Growth
A cumulative surplus above $1 billion reverses a $17 billion deficit from FY2022. The relief is real — but the underlying story is import suppression, not export dynamism.
IMF Programme Unlocks $3 Billion — Stability Secured, Growth Still Constrained
The $3 billion Stand-By Arrangement has restored credibility and unlocked multilateral inflows. It has also enforced a growth ceiling of 2–2.5% while structural reforms lag.
Rupee Holds at 280/USD — Stability Backed by Controls and Fundamentals
The rupee is trading between 275 and 285 to the dollar, well off its 300+ lows. Reserves, remittances and enforcement all helped — but competitiveness questions linger.

Pakistan's IT Exports Hit New Highs in 2026 — Is $5 Billion Now Within Reach?
