Karachi: (RightNow) In June 2026, Pakistan’s current account deficit reached $649 million. Experts and investors have expressed concerns over this development.

Economic analysts state that the current account includes exports and imports of goods and services, IT exports, and remittances. To cover the deficit, foreign investment and loans are necessary.

In June 2026, exports remained stagnant while imports increased by nearly $1 billion. Rising energy prices and freight charges have inflated the import bill.

It is noteworthy that Pakistan faced economic challenges due to current account deficits in 2017-18 and 2021-22. Experts have advised setting an annual export growth target of 15%.

Experts have suggested the government hold monthly meetings with major exporters to address export barriers.
