Pakistan received gross inflows of $205 million under the Roshan Digital Account (RDA) scheme in October 2025, taking the cumulative funds received since its launch in September 2020 to a robust $11.313 billion, according to latest statistics from the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The investment of $205 million in October marked an improvement compared to the six-month average of $189 million and the long-term average of $182 million since the programme’s launch, according to Topline Research. Meanwhile, net inflows \u2013 representing gross inflows minus repatriated funds \u2013 stood at $180 million during the month, also higher than the six-month average of $165 million and the overall average of $152 million since inception, reflecting sustained confidence of overseas Pakistanis in the scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, the SBP conducted a Treasury Bill (T-bill) auction, raising Rs493 billion against the target of Rs550 billion, which indicated robust investor appetite despite a slight shortfall in acceptance. Bids totalled Rs1,562 billion across different tenures, underscoring sustained liquidity in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the three-month segment, the auction drew Rs347 billion in bids against a Rs150 billion target, with Rs318 billion accepted at a cut-off yield of 11.04% \u2013 marginally lower than the secondary market’s close at 11.05% in the previous session. One-month bills mirrored a similar trend, where Rs112 billion was accepted out of total bids of Rs791 billion at 10.99%, a one-basis-point dip from last week’s levels. However, the six-month paper saw lighter acceptance, with only Rs15 billion raised from bids of Rs357 billion at 11.05%, flat when compared with secondary market yields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weighted average yields held steady across the board \u2013 10.97% for one-month, 11.02% for three- and six-month tenors, and an overall auction average of 11.32%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a parallel auction, the 10-year Pakistan Investment Bonds (PIB) Floating Rate Semi-Annual (PFL-SA) notes attracted Rs728 billion in bids against a Rs500 billion target, but only Rs55 billion was accepted at a cut-off price of 95.1, implying an effective rate of 11.75%. This represented a modest tightening of two basis points from the prior session’s 11.77%, with spreads over the benchmark narrowing to 0.85% from 0.87%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Separately, the SBP held a buyback auction of five- and 10-year PFL bonds to manage secondary market liquidity, accepting bids worth Rs122.1 billion at cut-off prices ranging between 98.76 and 100.48, and covering maturities between September 2028 and April 2029.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pakistani rupee inched up against the US dollar in the inter-bank market on Wednesday, closing at 280.77, an appreciation of one paisa compared with the previous day’s rate of 280.78. Meanwhile, gold prices in Pakistan edged lower, despite a slight rise in the international market, where the yellow metal gained ahead of a US House of Representatives vote to reopen the government, a move that could restart the flow of key economic data and pave the way for a possible Federal Reserve rate cut in December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to data released by the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA), the price of gold fell by Rs1,000 per tola, bringing it down to Rs434,762, while the 10-gram rate dropped by Rs857 to Rs372,738. In contrast, silver prices increased by Rs81, reaching Rs5,434 per tola.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commenting on international price movements, Adnan Agar, Director at Interactive Commodities, noted that gold had broken its upper resistance level. “Gold has moved to the upside. It broke the $4,155 resistance and was trading around $4,170 at its high. The $4,100 level has formed a strong support over the last two days. If this holds, there’s a chance prices could reach $4,200 to $4,220,” he said, adding that the reopening of the US government would bring back critical data releases that could influence the next direction of the gold market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
