Pakistan remittances rise continued in August 2026. Workers’ inflows reached $3.66 billion, according to data released by the State Bank of Pakistan. This marks a 17 percent increase compared to $3.14 billion recorded during the same month last year. The growth also extended month-on-month. Remittances rose 1 percent from $3.63 billion in July.

These latest inflows pushed total remittances during the first two months of fiscal year 2027 to $7.29 billion. Therefore, the cumulative figure now stands 15 percent higher than last year’s $6.35 billion. Saudi Arabia remained the largest source of remittances in August. It contributed $873 million, up 19 percent from a year earlier.

The United Arab Emirates followed closely, contributing $750 million. That marked a 17 percent increase. Meanwhile, inflows from the United Kingdom rose even faster, climbing 22 percent to reach $564 million. Remittances from the European Union increased 15 percent to $496 million. Inflows from the United States grew 16 percent to $309 million. Additionally, other Gulf countries contributed $327 million, up 8 percent from the previous year.

During the first two months of FY27, Saudi Arabia contributed $1.79 billion. The UAE followed with $1.49 billion, and the UK added $1.12 billion. Remittances from all major regions came in higher than the same period last year. This broad-based growth suggests strong momentum across multiple overseas communities. It is not concentrated in a single region.

Topline Research expects Pakistan’s remittance inflows to reach $43.7 billion by the end of FY27. This forecast aligns closely with the State Bank’s own outlook. The central bank projects remittances to rise to around $44 billion during the fiscal year. Instead of slowing down, the upward trend appears set to continue. Finally, analysts will watch upcoming SBP releases closely. They want to see whether this pace of growth holds steady through the rest of the fiscal year.
