Pakistan received US$3.5 billion in workers’ remittances during June 2026, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) said on Thursday.

According to the central bank, remittance inflows increased by 2.0 percent compared with June last year but declined by 18.3 percent from the previous month.

The SBP said total workers’ remittances during the fiscal year 2025-26 (FY26) reached US$41.6 billion, reflecting an 8.6 percent increase over the US$38.3 billion received in FY25.

Saudi Arabia remained the largest source of remittances in June, with overseas Pakistanis sending US$829.6 million, followed by the United Arab Emirates at US$792.2 million, the United Kingdom at US$514.9 million, and the United States at US$296.8 million.

The central bank said workers’ remittances continued to provide vital support to Pakistan’s external sector and foreign exchange inflows.
