In July 2026, worker remittances to Pakistan reached $3.631 billion, a 13% rise from July 2025’s $3.215 billion and a 4.5% increase over June. The figure marks a strong start to fiscal year 2027, which began on July 1, and follows a year‑long rise of 8.6% to $41.58 billion. Remittances from the United Kingdom and the United States grew the most, climbing 23.4% to $555.5 million and 17.6% to $317.2 million respectively. Saudi Arabia contributed $913.9 million, up 10.9% year‑on‑year, while the UAE added $737.3 million, a 10.8% gain. Within the UAE, Dubai’s inflows rose 26% to $575.5 million, whereas Abu Dhabi fell 26% to $135.4 million, reflecting shifting labour and residency trends. Other Gulf states together sent $336.1 million, up 13.6%. The southern provinces of Sindh and Balochistan received a negligible share of the total, underscoring uneven geographic distribution.

Meanwhile, local gold prices rose, with the tola rate closing at Rs457,366 after earlier gains of Rs800.
