Roshan Digital Account Inflows Rise to $205 Million in October 2025

The Roshan Digital Account (RDA) continued its positive momentum as inflows reached $205 million in October 2025, marking a slight increase from $204 million in the same month last year. The initiative, launched to facilitate overseas Pakistanis in investing and banking digitally, has now become a major source of foreign exchange stability for Pakistan.

According to the State Bank of Pakistan, net inflows stood at $180 million in October, above the six-month average of $165 million. So far in FY26, RDA has attracted $750 million, while total cumulative inflows have surged to $11.31 billion since its launch in September 2020.

Officials noted that 873,465 accounts have been opened under the scheme, with $7.26 billion utilized locally and $1.9 billion repatriated abroad. The Naya Pakistan Certificates (NPCs) remain a key investment choice, with Islamic NPCs at $997 million and conventional NPCs at $499 million.

An SBP official said,

“The steady rise in RDA inflows reflects growing trust and participation of overseas Pakistanis in the country’s financial ecosystem.”
