Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Friday congratulated the nation on the record increase in foreign remittances in December 2024, saying the claims of those who were chanting to halt the country’s economy have been proven to be baseless.
Foreign remittances increased during December 2024 to $3.1 billion compared to November 2024, recording a monthly growth of 5.6%.
The Prime Minister said, in a press statement, that remittances witnessed a record growth of 29.3% in December 2024 compared to the same month (December 2023) last year.
“The record increase in outward remittances reflects the strong commitment of overseas Pakistanis to play their role in the development of the country,” the Prime Minister said.
The Prime Minister said that after achieving economic stability, Pakistan is now on the path of economic growth, adding that the government is determined to ensure national development and public welfare.
