Since the RDA initiative began in September 2020, the total money deposited through the program has reached $9.342 billion by December 2024. From this cumulative amount, $1.7 billion has been sent abroad by account holders, while $5.911 billion has been used for activities and investments inside Pakistan. The remaining net amount that can still be repatriated stands at $1.73 billion.
The number of accounts opened under the RDA initiative also increased to 778,713 by the end of December. This is an addition of 10,319 accounts compared to the previous month of November.
