RDA inflows may see a seasonal growth ahead of Eid-ul-Adha as overseas Pakistanis living in non-Muslim countries prefer to offer their religious obligation of sacrifice with or through their families back in Pakistan. Besides, various remittances from various countries see growth due to shopping expenses on the occasion of Eid.
It is pertinent to mention here that the inflows under Roshan Digital Account witnessed a lukewarm response in May with inflows standing at $189 million. The deposits under RDA increased to $4.356 billion in May from Rs. 4.167 billion which was reported in April.
Financial monitoring unit must scrutinized all transactions, the way $ demand and exchange rate rising there is probability of non pure money inflows through RDA.
