KARACHI: The repatriation of profits and dividends fell 11.5 per cent in July, the first month of FY27, but remained higher than the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows.
The data released by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on Thursday showed that outflows were $261.4 million, compared with $295 million in July 2025. However, the outflow was 73pc higher than the $151.4m in June.
Most importantly, the country has consistently been unable to attract FDI despite the creation of the Special Incentive Facilitation Council.
The FDI remained at half in FY26 compared to the previous year, falling to around $1bn from $2bn in FY25.
