Compared to the previous month's inflow of $177, May showed an increase of $24m.

However, from mid-2022 to early 2023, there was a sharp decline, with capital outflows reaching nearly $150m, likely due to economic uncertainties and policy shifts.

A gradual recovery began in 2023, with sustained inflows strengthening throughout 2024, indicating renewed investor confidence.

RDA is a major initiative of SBP, in collaboration with commercial banks operating in Pakistan.

These accounts provide innovative banking solutions for millions of Non-Resident Pakistanis (NRPs), including Non-Resident Pakistan Origin Card (POC) holders, seeking to undertake banking, payment, and investment activities in Pakistan.

SBP has made it possible to allow overseas Pakistanis to open an account in a Pakistani bank completely digitally in a presenceless manner and without needing to visit any bank, any embassy, or consulate.

The account opening process requires only basic information and documents, with banks instructed to complete all necessary customer due diligence within 48 hours.
