Overseas Pakistanis remitted $3.5 billion in June 2026, taking total workers’ remittances for fiscal year 2025-26 to a record $41.58 billion, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) said on Thursday.

According to the central bank, remittances during FY2025-26 increased by 8.6% compared with $38.3 billion received in the previous fiscal year.

The SBP said overseas Pakistanis sent an average of $3.46 billion per month during the fiscal year, reflecting sustained inflows that continued to support the country’s external sector.

Saudi Arabia remained the largest source of remittances in June, with Pakistan receiving $829.6 million from the kingdom during the month, according to the central bank’s data.
