Remittances hit $14.8bn in four months, up 14% on last year

Overseas Pakistani workers sent home $14.8 billion in the first four months of the fiscal year, the State Bank of Pakistan said, a 14 percent rise on the $13 billion recorded in the same July-October period a year earlier.
The increase amounts to roughly $1.8 billion more flowing into the country than in the comparable stretch of fiscal 2025-26, according to the central bank's figures.
Remittances are a central source of foreign exchange for Pakistan, and the pace of inflows feeds directly into the current account, the rupee and the State Bank's reserves position.
The State Bank did not, in the figures released on Tuesday, break the total down by corridor or by the countries from which the money was sent.
