State Bank governor working estimate for 2025-2026 is $42+ billion this year from less then 12 million aboard

Goods + services exports combined is around $40 billion from over 250 million

Another words 12 million Pakistani abroad are worth more than 250 million inside Pakistani

The phrase is "In other words", not "another words".
The core point is that Pak's human capital is not being utilised.

Ordinary Pakistanis succeed everywhere except in Pakistan, where they are constantly denigrated as jahil, uncultured and regressive by the state elites. I see the entire 79 history of Pakistan as wasted potential.

Please don't make such insulting remarks against our nation.

Pakistan's nominal GDP is worth $407 billion while in PPP terms, it is $1.8 trillion.

Remittance: no longer a risk-free cushion​

May 12, 2026
By BR Research

From the latest numbers released by the central bank, remittances recorded a month-on-month decline in April 2026. Inflows rose 11.4 percent year-on-year but fell 7.6 percent month-on-month to $3.54 billion. This space has been warning about a potential decline in remittances if oil prices remain elevated and the conflict in the Middle East continues.

Despite the ceasefire, the situation between Iran, the US and the wider Middle East remains volatile. This has raised concerns that the expected pressure from higher oil prices, a rising import bill and possible softening in GCC economies may be starting to show.

Part of this concern may be valid. Oil prices have remained high, and unofficial reports continue to circulate about job pressures and some deportations or returns from GCC countries, which account for almost half of Pakistan’s total remittance inflows.
