Record rise in remittances reflects confidence in govt policies: PM

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has said that the record level of remittances is a reflection of the confidence of overseas Pakistanis in the government policies.

The prime minister expressed gratitude to overseas Pakistanis for crossing the $4 billion mark in any one month for the first time in the history.

In March 2025, remittances reached a month-high of $4.1 billion, while remittances reached a total of $28 billion in the current financial year so far.

The prime minister said that remittances have increased by 37.4 per cent in March this year compared to March last year. The good news of record increase in remittances in the context of the ongoing overseas Pakistanis convention in Islamabad is a manifestation of the dedication, passion and confidence in the country’s economy.

He said that overseas Pakistanis not only bring laurels to the country and the nation by working hard day and night abroad, but also benefit the country’s economy through remittances.

Shehbaz further said that overseas Pakistanis are our assets. He said that he and the entire nation is proud of the overseas Pakistanis. The government of Pakistan is committed to provide all facilities to overseas Pakistanis, he vowed.
