KARACHI: Pakistan’s Roshan Digital Account (RDA) gross inflows has reached $ 5.3bn as of Oct’22. The Oct’22 gross inflows clocked in at $146mn, the lowest monthly inflow since Dec’20.

It may be recalled that last week, HBL in collaboration with Pakistan High Commission London had hosted the Roshan Digital Account event for the Pakistani community in the UK. The event was aimed at creating awareness of the State Bank of Pakistan’s Roshan Digital Initiative. The initiative allowed non-resident Pakistanis to open bank accounts digitally from abroad for investment in Pakistan and take advantage of the saving schemes and investment opportunities in the country.
