The external current account recorded a deficit of US$ 128 million in September 2026, following the surplus recorded in August 2026. However, the deficit was lower than in September 2025, as the lower trade deficit and higher inflows of workers’ remittances outweighed the higher primary income deficit and the lower surplus in the services account. The current account recorded a cumulative deficit of US$ 420 million during January–September 2026.
