Pakistan Workers’ Remittances Dashboard

The Pakistan Workers’ Remittances – Country and Regional Monitor dashboard, developed by the Gallup Pakistan Digital Analytics team, offers a comprehensive and interactive exploration of workers’ remittances received by Pakistan, leveraging data from the State Bank of Pakistan’s official country-wise series. The data cleaning, organizing and transformation, and the dashboard itself, are designed to provide insights into remittance inflows, regional and country distribution, seasonal patterns and the impact of major shocks from July 1972 to September 2026.

This page has slicers for selecting Region, Country and Fiscal Year, along with a Reset button. Every chart responds to these slicers, and clicking a bar, point or region in a chart also selects it.

Dashboard Features

The dashboard begins with a header and a running ticker that set the context for the analysis. They give an overview of the data source and the period covered. Below them, summary tiles show the chosen year’s remittances, the total since records began, the change on the year before, and the share of all remittances.

Fiscal-Year Trend Analysis

This section features a bar chart that visually represents the US dollars received in each fiscal year (July to June). Users can observe how inflows have grown over the decades, from about US$11.2 billion in FY2011 to US$41.6 billion in FY2026. Accompanying the bar chart is an area chart showing the selected country’s share of all remittances over time. Three further line charts compare remittances with the size of the economy, as a percentage of GDP, of GDP at purchasing power parity (PPP) and of exports of goods and services.

Major Shocks and Monthly Analysis

Here, a line chart displays the remittance flow with 16 numbered event markers, from the 1973 oil price shock to COVID-19. Users can switch between the amount and the growth on the year before. An area chart for the last five years shows remittances month by month and marks the peak month. A regional chart shows each region’s amount and share of the total, with the Gulf (GCC) leading at US$22.5 billion in FY2026.

Eid and Remittances Analysis

This section examines the seasonal effect of religious festivals. A line chart shows monthly remittances with each Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha marked and shaded bands for Ramadan, and it can be set to the last 5, 10 or 20 years. A bar chart then shows how much Eid lifts remittances, comparing the run-up month of each Eid with the average of the months around it.

Regional Mix and Country Analysis

The final section examines where remittances come from. A stacked bar chart shows fiscal-year totals by region from FY2011, covering the Gulf (GCC), Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, Africa and Other & unallocated. Beside it, a bar chart shows each country’s share of its region, and a stacked chart shows those shares over time. A table lists every region and country with its amount and its share of the region and of the total, with Saudi Arabia leading at US$9.8 billion in FY2026.

This dashboard is an invaluable tool for policymakers, researchers, journalists and analysts seeking to understand the dynamics of Pakistan’s workers’ remittances, and the countries and regions behind them, on a national and global scale.
