随著该地区主要经济体成长预计将放缓，财务压力已逐渐浮现。部分外籍移工不得不动用个人储蓄以维持原先的汇款水平，如果冲突持续下去，可能会导致全球汇款总量急剧崩塌，进而严重打击依赖这些收入的低收入和中等收入国家。

The conflict in the Middle East has put billions of dollars in remittances at risk for approximately 30 million foreign migrant workers in the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.

As economic growth in the region's major economies is expected to slow down, clear signs of financial strain are emerging.

With the Gulf nations serving as a major source of outbound funds, the ongoing instability presents significant challenges to migrant employment and the flow of capital back to countries such as Kenya, the Philippines, and Nepal.
