The possible impact can be gauged by looking at where the $300 billion in remittances are distributed. In 2006, poorer European countries received about $50 billion, Africa got $38 billion, Latin America and the Caribbean $68 billion, the Middle East $24 billion.
可以通过研究这3千亿美元汇款的分布状况来对可能的影响进行估算。2006年，相对贫困的欧洲国家收到约500亿美元、非洲380亿、拉美及加勒比680亿、中东240亿。亚洲是最大的受益者，收到的汇款总额为1130亿美元。
