The Finance Minister has called on overseas citizens to expand their financial participation in Pakistan by investing through the Roshan Digital Account (RDA), describing the diaspora as a key pillar of national economic stability and foreign exchange inflows.
He made the appeal during a diaspora investment and remittance engagement event held at the Pakistan Embassy in Washington, D.C., organised in collaboration with financial authorities and banking sector stakeholders.
The minister praised overseas Pakistanis for their consistent contribution to the country’s economy, noting that remittances and diaspora investments have remained a stabilising force during periods of economic uncertainty.
He explained that the Roshan Digital Account was designed to simplify banking access for non-resident citizens, allowing them to send funds, save, and invest in Pakistan without facing traditional barriers.
According to him, even during periods of severe pressure on foreign exchange reserves, the government maintained uninterrupted access to the RDA platform and ensured that deposits were not restricted.
He further highlighted recent improvements to the system, including expanded investment options that now allow account holders to invest in a wider range of financial instruments within the country’s regulated markets.
Officials at the event also reaffirmed continued efforts to improve digital banking infrastructure, enhance user experience, and strengthen trust between overseas investors and the local financial system.
The minister urged diaspora communities to take full advantage of the platform, stressing that sustained investment from abroad remains essential for long-term economic resilience and growth.
