He directed the Ministry of Finance to immediately release funds for the Workers\u2019 Remittances Incentive Scheme on priority basis.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cOverseas Pakistanis are our strength and a valuable asset of Pakistan.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe hard-earned remittances of overseas Pakistanis play an important role in the development of Pakistan, which the entire nation, including me, values,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
In the fiscal year 2025, he said overseas Pakistanis played a key role in achieving the target of current account surplus for the first time in 14 years by sending a record high of $38.3 billion in remittances.<\/p>\n
These remittances not only helped pay the rising import bill but also helped increase foreign exchange reserves, he noted.<\/p>\n
He said \u201cOverseas workers and businessmen play a crucial role in the country\u2019s development and progress by sending remittances to their homeland.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are removing obstacles in the way of remittances sent by hardworking Pakistanis abroad by making the system better, more efficient and easier,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
