Pakistan recently achieved a major milestone. Remittances received by Pakistan crossed export earnings in the first half of fiscal year 2024-35. This highlights the growing prominence of overseas Pakistanis across the globe and how the reforms are enabling smoother international transactions.
At One Homes, we understand that overseas Pakistanis are key to the growing country’s economy. Hence, we are developing real estate in Pakistan so you can be a part of your country’s growth journey. Our developments are offering world-class living to Pakistanis living abroad, allowing you to send your foreign investment to Pakistan with peace of mind.
Overall, the rise in remittances clearly highlights the growing confidence of overseas Pakistanis in the potential of their nation.
Overseas workers' remittances received were a total of $17.645 billion and the export earnings amounted to $16.561 billion from July to December 2024. The $1.084 billion gap highlights the critical role of overseas workers in driving economic stability. Monthly figures reveal consistent growth:
Economists attribute the rise in remittances to several factors:
These measures reflect a broader strategy to stabilise the economy and optimise foreign currency inflows.
While remittances have taken the lead, Pakistan’s exports have seen notable shifts. The agriculture sector has always been the top-performing export sector however, the textile industry took the lead this year.
Monthly textile exports now stand at $1.65 billion, up from $8 billion to $9.5 billion year-on-year. This growth is attributed to shifting global orders, especially from Bangladesh, showcasing Pakistan’s competitive edge in the global market.
This shift signifies that diversification within exports can further strengthen the country’s economic outlook.
Remittances not only stabilise the economy—they also play a crucial role in driving real estate investment. Most overseas Pakistanis usually invest in property so that they can have a connection to their motherland and a financially secure future. At One Homes, we aim to create opportunities that enable overseas Pakistanis to invest with ease in their motherland.
We are not just building properties in Pakistan but also a secure investment avenue. This way, you can buy a home in your country that lives up to the standards you are accustomed to in the West while earning a stable income through your investment.
The remittance boom is more than a statistic–it reflects the confidence of overseas Pakistanis in their country. At One Homes, we support this journey and provide world-class real estate developments that align with your needs.
Pakistan is headed in a direction of growth, and there has never been a better time to invest in its future. As remittances power the economy and the real estate market surges, we at One Homes guide you on how to capitalise on this momentum.
