Cumulative inflows under the Roshan Digital Account (RDA) initiative have reached $9.34 billion since its inception in September 2020. According to data released by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on Saturday, RDA inflows rose to $203 million in December 2024, reflecting a 9% increase from the $186 million recorded in November.
Out of December’s total inflows, $13 million was repatriated, while $113 million was utilized locally. This leaves a net repatriable liability of $76 million for the month.
Since the launch of RDA, $1.7 billion of the cumulative inflows has been repatriated, while $5.911 billion has been invested or used within Pakistan. The total net repatriable liability now stands at $1.73 billion.
The number of RDA accounts opened also grew, reaching 778,713 by the end of December—an increase of 10,319 accounts from November’s total of 768,394.
Of the outstanding liabilities, $1.208 billion is linked to Naya Pakistan Certificates (NPCs), with $460 million in conventional NPCs and $748 million in Islamic instruments. An additional $425 million is classified as “balances in accounts,” according to SBP data.
Roshan Equity Investments also showed significant growth, climbing to $59 million in December, a 16% increase compared to the previous month.
