Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif has thanked overseas Pakistanis for sending record remittances in December 2025, which exceeded last year’s figures.
In a statement, the premier said Pakistanis living abroad remitted $3.6 billion during December 2025, reflecting their strong commitment to the country’s economic stability.
He also noted that this marked an increase of 16.5 percent in remittances as compared to the same period last year.
PM Shehbaz said the rise in inflows demonstrated overseas Pakistanis’ confidence in the government’s economic policies and appreciated their role in countering negative propaganda against the country.
“Overseas Pakistanis are our valuable asset, and the entire nation, including myself, takes pride in them,” he said.
The premier added that the welfare and facilitation of overseas Pakistanis remained a top priority, and reaffirmed his government’s commitment to taking further steps for their well-being.
