World Bank: Remittances to Low, Middle-Income Countries Declined in 2023
[27/06/2024 06:57]
WASHINGTON - SABA
The World Bank announced that official remittances to low and middle-income countries declined in 2023 to an estimated $656 billion, after experiencing strong growth during the 2021-2022 period.
The Bank's latest Migration and Development Brief stated: "In 2023, remittances surpassed the levels of foreign direct investment and official development assistance.
Remittances to low and middle-income countries are expected to grow faster at 2.3% in 2024, although this growth will be uneven across regions."
Potential downside risks to these projections include a sharper-than-expected slowdown in economic growth in high-income host countries, as well as volatility in oil prices and exchange rates.
Efa Shereef, the World Bank's Global Director for Social Protection and Jobs, said: "Migration and the resulting remittances are core drivers of economic and human development, and many countries are interested in managing migration activities to address global demographic imbalances and labor shortages."
