Pakistan’s remittances have reached $41.5 billion, showing strong growth despite global uncertainties. Inflows increased by 8.6% as overseas workers continued sending money home.
Experts said the rise reflects the resilience of Pakistani workers abroad. However, they warned that the sector lacks structured policies and long-term support.
Middle East tensions have created concerns over potential disruptions to remittance flows. Despite these challenges, overseas Pakistanis maintained steady financial contributions.
Analysts stressed the need for better systems to support overseas workers and improve formal remittance channels. They said stronger policies could help maximize economic benefits.
Remittances remain a key source of foreign exchange for Pakistan. The government continues to focus on maintaining growth and encouraging official money transfer channels.
