Minister of Foreign Affairs & Trade of Hungary to pay official visit to
Pakistan today

ISLAMABAD, (MANEND NEWS): Prime Minister Imran Khan has
underlined the need for further enhancing the foreign remittances by
tapping the immense potential of overseas Pakistanis.
He was addressing a ceremony in Islamabad on Thursday in
connection with Roshan Digital Account crossing one billion dollars in
deposits and launch of Roshan Apni Car and Roshan Samaaji Khidmat
products.
Prime Minister Imran Khan pointed out that the country received
record remittances over the last one year. He, however, said this is
only tip of the iceberg. He said until and unless we enhance our
exports, we will have to think out of box and bring innovative ideas to
woo the overseas Pakistanis to send their remittances to Pakistan.
This, he said will help us handle the issue of current account deficit.
The Prime Minister termed the deposits of one billion dollars in Roshan
Digital Account in a matter of seven months as a landmark
achievement, expressing the confidence that other two products
Roshan Apni Car and Roshan Samaaji Khidmat will also meet the
success.
Imran Khan said that nine million Pakistanis are abroad and they are
our biggest asset which has kept the economy afloat. He said our
laborers are very diligent who work day and night to financially

support their families back home. He asked the embassies to provide
better services to the labor class.
The Prime Minister said a high powered investigation has been ordered
into the bad conduct of our embassy in Saudi Arabia with the Pakistani
laborers and workers. He said those found involved in extorting and
mistreating Pakistani laborers will be given exemplary punishments.
In his remarks, Governor State Bank of Pakistan Reza Baqir said the
success of Roshan Digital Account is the success of Pakistan and the
vision of Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Referring to the new products being launched under Roshan Digital
Account, he said under Roshan Apni Car, overseas Pakistanis will be
able to purchase cars for their family members or friends in Pakistan at
attractive markup rates.
He said Roshan Samaaji Khidmat will provide a platform to the
overseas Pakistanis to conveniently give their donations and Zakat.
He said more such products will also be launched in future to facilitate
the overseas Pakistanis.
The Governor State Bank of Pakistan said our aim is to transform the
financial system that facilitates the common man including those
associated with the SMEs and the agriculture sector.
