Islamabad: Advisor to Finance Minister Khurram Schehzad has announced that remittances from Pakistani workers saw a significant surge of twenty-five percent in January this year, reaching a total of three billion dollars. This increase indicates a robust trend in the flow of funds from overseas Pakistani workers, which plays a crucial role in bolstering the country’s economy.

According to Radio Pakistan, Khurram Schehzad shared these insights on the social media platform X today. He highlighted that the cumulative workers’ remittances from July 2024 to January 2025 experienced a notable growth of thirty-two percent, amounting to twenty point eight billion dollars. This upward trajectory in remittances reflects positively on the financial support provided by the Pakistani diaspora to their home country.

Khurram Schehzad expressed optimism that if this trend continues, the full-year remittances are expected to exceed a record mark of thirty-five billion dollars. Such an achievement would provide substantial support to Pakistan’s external financial position, enhancing its economic stability and resilience.
