Similarly, on a year-on-year basis, the growth in remittances is recorded above 9pc.

As per the statement of the Central Bank, the reason behind the increase in remittances is the upcoming Eid-ul-Adha and the effective policy implementation of the government and compelling the people to use formal banking channels.
