RDA is an initiative of the State Bank of Pakistan for Non-Resident Pakistanis (NRP), formed in partnership with commercial banks operating in Pakistan. It was a part of the PTI government’s strategy to attract foreign inflows, much-needed for a country like Pakistan facing an increase in the current account deficit.
From September 2020 to February 2022 the total investments made through the Roshan Digital Account (RDA) inflows amount to $2.529bn.
