This study attempts to provide an analytical answer to the important economic issue of whether workers’ remittances contributed to economic growth in Pakistan during the period 1972-73 to 2002-03. The quantitative evidence shows that workers’ remittances appeared to be an important source of economic growth. Other sources of growth were the public and private investment. Alternatively, there are a few factors like inflation rate, external debt, and deterioration in the terms of trade that affected country’s economic growth adversely.
