KARACHI (August 12 2009): Workers remittances sent by overseas Pakistanis surged by 19.13 percent to a record $747 million during the first month of current fiscal year as compared to same period last fiscal year.

The amount of $747.22 million includes $0.14 million received through encashment and profit earned on Foreign Exchange Bearer Certificates (FEBCs) and Foreign Currency Bearer Certificates (FCBCs). The previous highest amount remitted in a single month by Pakistani workers was recorded in March 2009, when an amount of $739.43 million was received. The inflow of remittances into Pakistan from almost all the countries of the world increased last month as compared to July 2008.

Remittances received from Norway, Switzerland, Australia, Canada, Japan and other countries during July 2009 amounted to $81.56 million as compared to $60.99 million during July 2008.
