Data released by the State Bank of Pakistan shows overseas Pakistanis living in Saudi Arabia sent remittances to the tune of $725.4 million during April 2025. The remittances from the Kingdom were down 26% on a monthly basis, and 2% higher than the $712.2 million sent by the expatriates April 2024.

In return, their remittances support millions of families and bolster Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves. Bilateral economic relations have deepened through joint ventures, infrastructure investments, and energy cooperation.
