ISLAMABAD, JAN 10 (APP/DNA):Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Friday felicitated the nation on record increase in foreign remittances in December 2024, saying that the claims of those who had been chanting to halt the country’s economy had proven to be baseless.

In a press statement, the prime minister said the remittances witnessed a record growth of 29.3% in December 2024 against same month (December 2023) of last year.

“Record increase in the foreign remittances reflects the strong commitment of the overseas Pakistanis for playing their role in development of the country,” the prime minister said.

After achieving economic stability, Pakistan is now on the path of economic growth, the prime minister said adding that the government was determined to ensure national development and public welfare.
