Inflows through the Roshan Digital Account (RDA) fell to $177 million in April, marking a 25% decline from $235 million in March 2025, according to data released by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on Thursday.
Of the total inflows for April, $24 million has been repatriated abroad, while $159 million has been utilized within Pakistan. The number of RDA accounts opened also saw a modest increase, rising to 814,244 by the end of April from 805,442 at the close of March—a net addition of 8,802 accounts.
Cumulative inflows through the RDA have now reached $10.18 billion since the initiative’s launch in September 2020. Of this, $1.757 billion has been repatriated, while $6.527 billion has been used locally. The SBP reported that the total net repatriable liability stood at $1.897 billion as of April-end.
Breaking down the outstanding liability, $1.356 billion is invested in Naya Pakistan Certificates (NPCs), with $456 million in conventional NPCs and $900 million in Islamic instruments. Another $444 million remains as balances in RDA accounts.
Meanwhile, Roshan Equity Investments also saw a dip, falling 6% month-on-month to $58 million.
The RDA initiative, launched by the SBP in September 2020, has become a vital source of foreign exchange for Pakistan as the country continues to face liquidity challenges.
