Bangladesh's current account balance posted a surplus of $3.53 billion in the first quarter of the fiscal year on the back of a sharp decline in the trade deficit.

This contrasts to a deficit of $715 million in the same quarter a year ago, according to data from the central bank.

The first quarter's current account balance is the highest in the same quarter in the last six years. The current account data before fiscal 2014-15 are not available on the central bank's website.
