KARACHI: Pakistan’s current account deficit narrowed by 31.71 percent in 2018/2019 due to reduction in trade deficit and improved foreign remittances.

The current account deficit contracted to $13.58 billion in 2018/2019 as compared with $19.87 billion in the preceding fiscal year, State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) said on Wednesday.

The import bill of the country has been reduced by 9.6 percent to $54.79 billion, which was at $60.79 billion in the preceding fiscal year.

The inflows of foreign remittances also helped in reduction of current account deficit.

The foreign remittances improved by 10 percent to $21.84 billion in fiscal year 2018/2019 as compared with $9.913 billion in the preceding fiscal year.
