5:这些钱可能通过装在袜子里偷渡回家或通过电汇到家，真实总额可能要高出50%。

(4). 1: Remittances are not just big, but growing—they have nearly quadrupled since the turn of the millennium—and resilient.

2:在2009年，世界经济下滑的时候，汇向贫穷国家的钱稍微下降了5%，并且到了2010年这有反弹到历史水平。
3:相反，在经济危机期间外资直接向贫穷国家的投资下降了三成，证券投资流入下贱了一半。
4: “尽管世界经济危机的今天汇款最大的特点就是其数量年复一年的增长，”Dilip Ratha说，世界银行移民和汇款长官。

7: More than half of all remittances to South Asia come from the Gulf; worldwide, the region sends almost as many remittances to poor countries as western Europe does.

1:部分归因于这些技术，现在知道汇款比以前认为的来自更多的更大范围的国家。
2:这也可以解释为什么他们能够不受华尔街震荡的影响。
3:在1970年46%有源可查的汇款来自美国。
4:到2010年美国的份额只占了17%。
5:一个新的大玩家来自海湾地区，自从石油经济暴增吸引了大批的移民工人。
6:现在沙特阿拉伯是自美国之后最大的汇款输出国，在2010年寄出了270亿美元，大部人到了南亚和非洲家庭中，他们用这些钱整理房屋清理房间。
7:所有的汇款中超过一半是从海湾地区邮寄到南亚地区的；世界范围内，这些地区向贫穷地区送出的汇款大致与西欧国家持平。

(7). Expensive oil has made Russia a big destination for immigrants, too. In 2000 it was only the 17th-biggest remitter in the world—indeed, it was a net receiver. But by 2010 it was the fourth-largest sender, dispatching nearly $19 billion, mostly to Central Asia. Remittances from Russia are worth more than a fifth of Tajikistan’s economy (see chart).
高昂的石油价格也俄罗斯成为一个巨大的移民输入地。在2000年的时候它实际上只是世界第十七位汇款输出国，他是净输入国。到了2010年它是第四大输出国，输送了大概190亿美元，大部分输送到中亚地区。来自俄罗斯的汇款相当于塔吉克斯坦整个经济的六倍（见图表）
(8). 1: Though they are less volatile than many types of income, remittances are not immune to fluctuations.
2: Cash flows to Mexico last year were still 12% lower than their pre-crash peak, partly because many Mexican migrants worked in the American construction sector, which is still reeling.
3: The “Arab spring” of 2011 made a dent in remittance receipts in the Middle East and Africa, as migrant workers from the region fled countries such as Libya.
4: An exception was Egypt, where receipts shot up by 14%. One reason may be that exiled Egyptians returned home with their savings; another is that a fall in property prices encouraged émigrés to snap up bargains.

1:现期的货币波动可能影响汇款模式。
2:美元和欧元再不是非洲国家追逐的对象了。这些地区的货币急剧升值这归因于对他们出口商品需求的增加。

(10). The question is whether migrants will react by spending longer in far-flung destinations, or by staying closer to home. Many already go for the second option: one-tenth of remittances to Africa come from within the continent. South Africa sends most of its $1.4 billion in remittances to its neighbours, for example.
问题是这些移民是否愿意为长远的目标做出反映，或者呆在家里。很多人已经选择第二个选择了：十分之一汇向非洲国家的汇款来自欧洲国家。例如，南非已汇款形式想起邻邦输送1亿美元。....(please sign in for more)

1:在富裕国家，很多国家已经关闭器边境以保护其本土的工人，美国已经使其南部边境线变得更难穿越，这部分说明了墨西哥汇款的降低。
