Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has warmly thanked overseas Pakistanis for sending a record-high $38.3 billion in remittances during the fiscal year 2024-25, marking a significant 26.6% increase compared to the previous year. This growth is the highest in Pakistan’s history and a clear sign of confidence in the country’s economic stability.
The Prime Minister said this impressive rise in remittances reflects the valuable contributions of Pakistanis abroad and their strong belief in the nation’s economic progress. He described the positive economic indicators as proof that the government’s policies are headed in the right direction.
Shehbaz Sharif emphasized that these inflows play a crucial role in supporting the economy by increasing foreign exchange reserves and boosting domestic consumption. The Prime Minister also highlighted the government’s commitment to moving beyond stability toward sustainable economic growth and development.
He assured that the government would continue to create an environment that encourages more investment, trade, and financial support from Pakistanis worldwide, helping to build a prosperous future for the country.
