Back in April, Prime Minister Imran Khan lauded the contribution of overseas Pakistanis in uplifting the country’s economy.

While addressing overseas Pakistanis in connection with Roshan Digital Account reaching a milestone of one billion dollars, Imran Khan said that it is unfortunate that Pakistan approached International Monetary Fund (IMF) 20 times in the last 30 years and added that his government was compelled to start a new program with the fund over decreasing exports and low preservation of US dollars.

In February this year, PM lauded overseas Pakistanis for a record increase in remittances in 2021 as compared to the previous year.

“Remittances from overseas Pakistanis were $2.27 bn in Jan, up 19% over Jan 2020 – 8th consecutive month of remittances above $2b,” Imran Khan had said.
