And remittance is full confidencial and their is no fraude but in the hawala

so what do you prefer is your own decsion.
The methodology of analyzing Most of the remittance we analysis for
individual instead of analyzing agregative flows of remittance.
We have to make these kind of instiute that they can estimate the remitance
and make investment plane for them.
One aspect is its potential impact on the monetary accounts of countries on
either end of the hawala transaction. Because these transactions are not
reflected in official statistics, the remittance of funds from one country to
another is not recorded as an increase in the recipient country's foreign assets
or in the remitting country's liabilities, unlike funds transferred through the
formal sector. As a consequence, value changes hands, but broad money is
unaltered. However, hawala transactions may affect the composition of broad
money in a recipient country.
