Roshan Digital Account Inflows Rise $216 Million in January 2026

Pakistan recorded gross Roshan Digital Account inflows of $216 million in January 2026, surpassing both recent and long-term averages. This signals continued confidence from overseas Pakistanis despite global and domestic economic uncertainties.

The January inflows were higher than the last six-month average of $197 million and well above the long-term average of $183 million since the program began in September 2020. Experts say this steady participation shows that overseas investors remain engaged with Pakistan’s financial system.

However, net inflows, which account for funds repatriated abroad, were $145 million in January 2026. This figure is below the last six-month average of $175 million, but closely aligns with the long-term average of $153 million since the initiative started. The difference between gross and net inflows indicates rising repatriation activity. While fresh investments remain robust, outflows are also increasing.

The Roshan Digital Account continues to be a vital avenue for foreign exchange inflows into Pakistan. Authorities note that sustaining higher net inflows will require ongoing efforts to maintain investor confidence amid fluctuating economic conditions.

Overall, the initiative demonstrates resilience, with overseas Pakistanis showing willingness to invest, supporting both the country’s financial stability and foreign exchange reserves.
