In sharp contrast to the previous 5-year Pakistan\u2019s current account has been in surplus throughout FY21, thanks to an improved trade balance and surging remittances.<\/p>\n<p>In November both imports and exports picked up reflecting recovery in foreign and domestic demand.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of the improved financial inflows and current account position, the State Bank of Pakistan\u2019s Foreign exchange reserves have increased by around $1 billion in November, the central bank confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>The US Dollar is pushing higher across the board as fears over the new more infectious covid strain overshadow news that US Congress has finally agreed to a huge spending bill. This includes $900 billion for a covid rescue package and $1.4 trillion for government spending.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead investors will focus on the release of the US third quarter GDP reading.
