Profit remittances on foreign investments from Pakistan have surged to $1.7 billion during the initial seven months of the current fiscal year, 2025-26, marking an increase of over twenty-seven per cent.
The figures, released by the State Bank of Pakistan, indicate a substantial rise in repatriated earnings for overseas investors operating within the country, according to an official report today.
A breakdown of the data reveals that foreign companies in the energy sector repatriated profits amounting to $400.19 million. Firms in the financial sector sent back earnings of $371.33 million during the same period.
This upward trend is being viewed as a manifestation of growing global investor confidence in Pakistan”s stable economic momentum and an improved investment environment.
The increase in investor sentiment has been attributed to the facilitation provided by the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC).
