Gulf Tops Global Worker Remittances
The Gulf Cooperation Council countries experienced a record rise in remittances sent by workers abroad, totaling approximately $161 billion in 2025. This represents a 13.6% increase, or about $19 billion, compared to 2024, following a decline in 2023. This growth reflects the continued attraction of foreign labor and the expansion of non-oil economic sectors and infrastructure. Remittances account for 6.6% of the Gulf states' GDP and surpass some of the world's largest economies, such as the United States, Switzerland, Germany, and France.
