This is certainly the case in the Middle East. Total financial transfers by expats in GCC exceed $269 bn during 2006-2010. The inflow of remittances during July-January 2012 from Saudi Arabia, UAE, USA, UK, GCC countries (including Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and Oman) and EU countries amounted to $2,008.47 million, $1,644.34 million, $1,328.31 million, $853.47 million, $845.41 million, and $215.64 million respectively as compared with the inflow of $1,353.40 million, $1,437.05 million, $1,145.71 million, $669.70 million, $721.47 million and $195.66 million respectively in July-January 2011.

To examine the areas that are having the biggest impact on the remittances and international payments market the International Association of Money Transfer Networks will bring together an unparalleled group of experts on 27th March 2012. Between the key movers in the area you will have the opportunity to debate with Eastnets, Qtel, Al Fardan, UPU, PRI, SWIFT and many more.

The meeting will not only provide tremendous networking and information opportunities, but will also challenge all attendees to re-examine their business strategies and ensure that they are positioned to seize the opportunities and tackle the challenges.

SWIFT will be closing the meeting with a drinks reception. This is the one meeting you do not wish to miss.
