Pakistan’s remittances in November 2020

Pakistan maintained a strong momentum in workers’ remittances for the sixth consecutive month in November with over $2billion, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) had reported last month.

Workers’ remittances increased 28.4% year-on-year in November 2020, pushing the cumulative flows to $11.8 billion during the July-November FY21 with a rise of 26.9% compared to same period last year, the SBP had said. 

“This significant growth reflects continued government and SBP efforts to formalise remittances under Pakistan Remittances Initiative (PRI), growing use of digital channels amid limited international travel, orderly exchange market conditions and improved global economic activity,” the central bank had said.
