More than two billion euros were transferred out of Greece by Albanian, Pakistani and Afghani immigrants between January 2003 and May 2011, according to data presented to parliament last week by the Bank of Greece. The figures were announced in response to a question by Laos MP Kyriakos Velopoulos. The data revealed that some 2.2 billion euros were sent to Albania, 1.5 million euros to Pakistan and some 200,000 euros to Afghanistan over the eight-year period.
