Islamabad: The Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis says a five percent increase was recorded in the number of Pakistani workers sent abroad, while foreign remittances witnessed a nine percent rise during the last year.
Sharing the achievements made by the ministry in 2025, it said tangible measures taken by the Bureau of Immigration to facilitate overseas job seekers yielded positive results.
According to the ministry, a total of 762,499 Pakistanis were sent abroad in 2025 while overseas Pakistanis remitted about 40 billion dollars during the year.
The ministry said labour mobility agreements were signed with Italy, Belarus and Iraq in 2025.
It added that Italy’s allocation of 10,500 workers for Pakistan over three years was a major development providing opportunities for about 3,500 workers per year for three years.
The ministry further stated that Qatar’s resumption of work visas for Pakistani workers after 19 years expanded access to Gulf countries.
