Inflows for September stood at approximately $3.6 billion, marking a 12.7 percent year-on-year growth compared to September 2025, despite a slight 1.9 percent dip relative to August figures.
Saudi Arabia remained the leading source of remittances for the month, sending $899 million, followed by the United Arab Emirates with $748.5 million.
Non-resident Pakistanis in the United Kingdom and the United States contributed $515 million and $305 million respectively.
