The UAE follows closely at 18%, underscoring the significance of the Gulf region as a major remittance corridor. The UK (6.8%) and Singapore (5.7%) also contribute meaningfully, while other Gulf countries like Saudi Arabia (5.1%), Kuwait (2.4%), Oman (1.6%), and Qatar (1.5%) collectively represent a substantial regional cluster.
