To analyze the recent trends in foreign remittances, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) with the Ministry of Planning, Development, and Special Initiatives (MPD&SI) initiate a survey for overseas Pakistanis. This survey will help SBP to plan accordingly and offer promising investment opportunities. The survey is only for overseas Pakistanis globally and would be available till 9th of January, 2021.
The purpose of the survey is to assess factors affecting recent remittances behaviour. Using the survey, SBP will also try to understand how much these Pakistanis intend to invest, for how long, their plans of coming back to Pakistan, and so on.
According to Mettis Global, the survey will be conducted at Pakistani Consulates and Embassies, Overseas Bank Branches of Pakistani Banks, and digitally.
With the support of the Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development (MOPHRD), Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) and Pakistan Remittance Initiative (PRI), SBP will get a good amount of data which would help them plan according to the trends.
SBP and MPD&SI urge Overseas Pakistanis to participate in this short online survey. The overseas Pakistanis could participate in this survey through this website.
