BENEFITS
- Remittances help in improving the families’ economic and living conditions.
- Provides adequate healthcare as well as other amenities such as education and
hygiene.
- Helps in obtaining asset and business investments.
Remittances help recipient households to increase spending on essential goods
and services, invest in healthcare and education, as well as allowing them to build
their assets, both liquid (cash) and fixed (property), enhancing access to financial
services and investment opportunities.
Studies have shown that remittances can reduce the depth and severity of
poverty in developing countries, and that they’re associated with increased
household spending on health, education and small business.
Although remittances slowed during the pandemic, they remained more resilient
than other private capital flows, making them even more important as a source of
foreign inflows for receiving countries.
One advantage is that a very few workers can sustain a large number of people and
the country of origin does not have to build any commercial base or the necessary
infrastructure.
