In terms of sending money from foreign nationals to their homes, India is followed by China, Mexico, the Philippines, and Egypt. However, it is expected that remittances to India will increase by only 3% next year. The reason for this is that, during the Corona crisis, the number of workers leaving India for other countries decreased, while the number of people waiting to return to India from Arab countries increased continuously.
