Executive Summary
This paper attempts to determine the impact of workers remittances on Pakistan economy using standard Keynesian macroeconomic model for the period 1959-60 to 1987-88. The results indicate a strong positive impact on GNP, consumption, investment and imports. It suggests that an increase of one million rupees in remittances has increased GNP by 2.43 million. Among other components of economy, the remittances indicated the largest impact on consumption and the smallest on private investment. Given recent development in Gulf, it suggests that the government should aim at efficient channeling of remittances into productive investment and sustain the inflow of remittances exploring new markets for manpower.
