(MENAFN) Media and Banking Awareness Committee of Saudi Banks’ secretary-general, Talat Hafiz, said that during the past 5 years, the volume of money transferred by foreigners living in the country rose by USD10.66 billion, reported Arab News.
Hafiz added that foreigners’ remittances reached their peak last year at USD26.65 billion, from USD15.99 billion in 2006.
On the other hand, he said that there was no reason for concern for credit card users and other account holders, as the Saudi banking sector is intact and secure.
