Remittances — from lifeline to leverage
Pakistan's remittance inflows in Jul-25 reached $3.21 billion, up 7.4 percent year-on-year, though 5.6 percent lower than June's $3.4 billion due to seasonal normalization after the end-of-fiscal surge. The growth marks a strong start to FY26, following FY25's record $38.3 billion in remittances—a 27 percent increase from the previous year that even exceeded total export earnings. According to the State Bank of Pakistan, Saudi Arabia remained the largest contributor in July with $823.7 million, followed by the UAE at $665.2 million (including $456.8 million from Dubai), the UK at $450.4 million, the EU at $424.4 million, the US at $269.6 million, and other GCC countries including Qatar, Oman, and Kuwait contributing $296 million. This distribution underscores the continued reliance on Gulf-based labour migrants while highlighting steady inflows from Europe and North America, reflecting a diversified base that now includes professionals, students, and freelancers alongside traditional workers. Several factors have supported recent inflows. A crackdown on hundi/hawala networks and money laundering has made formal banking channels more attractive, while a more competitive exchange rate has reduced incentives for informal transfers. Rising income from freelancers and Pakistan-based professionals working remotely for foreign companies has also added to the inflow, offsetting stagnant outward migration as some Gulf states tighten work visa quotas. Despite their importance in shoring up foreign exchange reserves and easing the current account, remittances remain vulnerable to external job markets, oil prices, and host country policies. Heavy reliance on them also risks a 'Dutch Disease' effect—drawing labour into low-productivity sectors like construction, boosting imports, and delaying the structural reforms needed to enhance export competitiveness. Seasonal peaks, such as around Eid or the fiscal year's start, can mask underlying volatility, while shifts in the global economy or slower Gulf growth could quickly put inflows under pressure. This is why policymakers must view the current remittance windfall as a strategic opportunity rather than a permanent cushion. Maintaining the enforcement environment that channels inflows through formal means is necessary, but not sufficient. The real imperative is to channel these funds into productivity-enhancing investments—expanding value-added manufacturing, upgrading skills, and integrating into global supply chains. July's performance is encouraging, but the measure of success will be whether the country can convert this inflow into long-term resilience, reducing dependence on a revenue stream that is ultimately shaped by forces beyond its control.

TDAP organises series of seminars to boost maize exports
KARACHI: The Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) announced a series of specialized seminars aimed at empowering local maize growers and exporters to capitalize on the newly finalized maize export protocol with the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC). These events, scheduled for August 11, 12, and 13, 2025, will take place in Punjab's key corn-producing districts of Mailsi, Okara, and Sahiwal, respectively, with an additional session planned in Vehari to further engage stakeholders in the region. Following the recent finalization of the maize protocol with GACC, these seminars are designed to prepare Pakistani stakeholders to meet China's stringent quality and compliance standards, ensuring sustained access to the world's largest maize market, valued at $9.01 billion in imports in 2023. This presents a significant opportunity to boost Pakistan's agricultural exports and increase foreign exchange earnings. The seminars, organized in collaboration with the Agriculture Department, Punjab, will provide comprehensive guidance on GACC registration procedures, compliance requirements, and quality certifications essential for successful exports. Participants will gain insights into emerging opportunities in the Chinese market and acquire tools to enhance competitiveness in this high-value market. The sessions will also address critical challenges such as phytosanitary standards, pest management, including Khapra beetle, fungal contamination, and aflatoxin control to ensure product safety and quality.

The move aims to secure sustained access to what TDAP described as "the world's largest maize market," valued at $9.01 billion in imports in 2023. Officials said this development presents a "significant opportunity to boost Pakistan's agricultural exports and increase foreign exchange earnings". Organised in collaboration with the Punjab Agriculture Department, the sessions will provide detailed guidance on GACC registration procedures, compliance requirements and essential quality certifications.
