Pakistan receives $3.4bn in remittances in October 2025

The inflow of overseas workers’ remittances into Pakistan stood at $3.4 billion in October 2025, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) data showed on Friday. Remittances increased by nearly 12% year-on-year (YoY), compared to $3.1 billion recorded in the same month last year. On a monthly basis, remittances were up over 7%, compared to $3.2 billion in September. During the first four months of the fiscal year (4MFY26), remittance inflows stood at $12.9 billion, as compared to $11.9 billion in 4MFY25, a jump of 9.3%. Remittances play a significant role in supporting the country’s external account, stimulating Pakistan’s economic activity, and supplementing the disposable incomes of remittance-dependent households. Meanwhile, the government promotes remittances through incentives and formal channels to sustain steady growth and ensure their role in economic stability.
