Gulf Remittances Lead Global in 2025
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries continued to record the highest global level of offshore worker remittances in 2025, reaching approximately $161 billion, an increase of 13.6% compared to 2024. This growth is attributed to the attraction of the workforce and the expansion of non-oil economic activities. Data indicates that remittances accounted for 6.6% of the gross domestic product (GDP) in 2025, reflecting the region's significant economic influence and confirming the pivotal role of the Gulf in global financial flows. This amount surpasses that of the United States, which registered around $107 billion.
