By sub-region, remittances in South Asia are expected to fall furthest by 28.6 billion dollars (24.7 percent of 2018 receipts) followed by remittances to Central Asia (3.4 billion dollars, 23.8 percent), Southeast Asia (11.7 billion dollars, 18.6 percent) and east Asia ex-China and Japan (1.7 billion dollars, 16.2 percent).

The majority of the decline in remittance flows to the region is explained by a 22.5 billion dollars fall in remittances from the Middle East which accounts for 41.4 percent of total remittance loss in Asia.
