According to the data, remittance inflows for the month of March totaled US$ 182 million, whereas they were US$ 141 million in February and US$ 142 million in January 2024.

Millions of Non-Resident Pakistanis (NRPs), including those who own Non-Resident Pakistan Origin Cards (POCs), can now engage in banking, payment, and investing activities in Pakistan with the help of these accounts, which offer cutting-edge banking solutions.

According to a statement from the State Bank of Pakistan, the number of accounts registered under the program increased by 11,091 from 668,701 accounts in February 2024 to 679,792 accounts in March 2024.

As of March 2024, the central bank reported that foreign nationals of Pakistan have invested US $312 million in Naya Pakistan Certificates, US $528 million in Naya Pakistan Islamic Certificates, and US $31 million in Roshan Equity Investment.

It is important to note that former prime minister Imran Khan introduced the Roshan Digital Account initiative in September 2020 with the goal of giving Pakistanis living abroad access to digital banking services for the first time.

Briefing reporters in Washington, US State Department chief deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel stated, “Pakistan remains one of our most important partners in the region.”

In response to a query, he stated that the US continues to have extensive collaboration with the Pakistani government, particularly in the security and commercial sectors.

In response to another question, he stated that we have been very explicit with countries throughout the world about the critical role that a free press plays in the fabric of democracy. That is why we come here on a regular basis and answer inquiries.

Patel declined to comment on the attack on a Sikh leader, citing the fact that the US Law and Justice Department is investigating the case and that he is unable to speak.

Previously, the US pledged to assist Pakistan with economic reforms.

According to State Department spokeswoman Matthew Miller, Pakistan’s economy has stabilized, and we support its efforts to handle its massive debt burden.

Significant changes have occurred within the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) since the appointment of an Acting Director General (DG).

Among the proposed modifications is the rotation of Chief Operating Officers (COOs) at different airports across the country.

There are also hints of upcoming senior officer appointments and transfers at the CAA headquarters in Karachi.

These changes occur during a transition phase following the transfer of Khaqan Murtaza, the previous DGCAA, to the chairperson of the Employees Old-Age Benefits Institution (EOBI), as announced by the federal government.

With these developments, Pakistan’s aviation sector expects a shift in leadership and organizational dynamics within the Civil Aviation Authority.

The federal government announced last week that Khaqan Murtaza would be transferred from the Director General (DG) of Pakistan’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).

Following agreement from the Federal Cabinet, the Establishment Division announced Khaqan Murtaza’s transfer and appointed him chairman of the Employees Old-Age Benefits Institution (EOBI).

Saif Anjum, the Secretary of Aviation, was given the additional charge of DGCAA, according to the notice.

It is worth noting that Khaqan Murtaza was named DG-CAA during the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government.
