This surge represented an impressive 11.3 percent growth compared to the same month the previous year, reflecting the dedication and hard work of Pakistani expatriates around the world.

This was followed by the United Arab Emirates, which contributed US$677.1 million, the United Kingdom with US$454.8 million, and the United States of America with US$269.0 million. Each of these countries played a vital role in nurturing the connection between Pakistani migrants and their families, emphasizing the importance of these financial lifelines.

As families across Pakistan celebrated these remittances, they acknowledged the sacrifices and hard work their loved ones abroad had put in. The continuous support from overseas not only helped in meeting everyday expenses but also fostered hope for a brighter future, strengthening the bond between Pakistan and its global citizens.
