Yes we Thank Overseas Pakistanis but we will make sure to not provide any benefit
Charges them higher fees
Exaggerated taxes
Will make visa process and access to consulates hard as possible
And we will make sure they cant vote for sh**

 

[BATMAN]

Musharraf govt. revolutionize Pakistan's education and now Imran khan is reaping the fruit.

 

[Syed1.]

220 million Pakistanis export $23billion, 5 million overseas Pakistanis remit $22b. Mashallah...

 

[Nilgiri]

At this rate soon remittances will cross exports.

In USD and real terms, I would say it pretty much already has. Structurally we will know more established trend only cpl years from now.

This will last for 1 more Generation i would give 20 more years.
For 2 decades Pakistan Could have built huge capital but they failed at every step.
Majority of senders are 1st generation immigrants when you go to 2nd and 3rd generation flow of income will change, and they will use that money in local countries what will Pakistan do than ?

Overseas Pakistanis understand Pakistan and they never disappoint the pm.
Unlike the Tom dick and Harry here who discuss the darnomica and economy over a plate or phaja ke paya and declare the doom in the country which they claim to love .

Just try not to find fault with everything .

Surely if people are willing to send money home through proper channels maybe they have seen some change .

They are thousand times more Pakistanis then us lazy asses back home.
The first thing They learn there is that they have to work their asses to achieve something and not sit idle and comment on everything and things that are way above intellectual level of people.

 

[Meengla]

Great news! And yet there is still no banking channel to send from America to Pakistan?! I know there's Xoom and Western Union but my accounts with them got defrauded last year and I am not going near them anymore. Why such a neglect for a country where perhaps the Pakistani expats are the most prosperous compared with other Pakistani expats?

PS. I don't feel to be doing something special for the country when I send money for family support. I know it helps Pakistan but primarily I am helping my own family. So there is no sense of entitlement.

 

[Devil Soul]

Rupee Fall = increase in remittances..... as they are getting good rate....

 

[Indus Pakistan]

I have always said that Pakistan economy primarily is just labour remittance economy.

 

[aziqbal]

good many of these Pakistanis work so hard

Philippines is like over $30 billion and India is the leader with close to $70 billion in remittances
