Data released by the Myanmar regime indicates that labour remittances from overseas workers have become its largest source of foreign currency. In 2025 alone, these remittances totaled over US$5.6 billion. This influx of money is being sent home by Myanmar migrant workers abroad to support their families. The reliance on these funds highlights the economic strain within Myanmar and the junta’s dependence on its citizens working internationally. This represents a significant shift in the sources of foreign income for Myanmar, surpassing previous industries. The figure underscores the continuing outflow of labour from Myanmar seeking economic opportunities elsewhere, and the crucial role these workers play in sustaining the country's economy despite political instability.
