Pakistan registers $4.3bn in remittances for May 2026

The inflow of overseas workers’ remittances into Pakistan stood at $4.251 billion in May 2026, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) data showed on Wednesday. In terms of growth, remittances increased by 20.2% on a month-on-month basis and 15.4% on a year-on-year basis. Cumulatively, workers’ remittances increased by 9.2% to $38.1 billion during Jul-May FY26, compared to $34.9 billion received during the same period last year. “The strong growth was primarily driven by Eid-related seasonal inflows, as remittances typically increase during festive periods,” said Topline Securities in a note.
