Global Remittances

Definition

Global Remittances represent the money sent by individuals working abroad to their families or beneficiaries in their home countries. These cross-border transfers are a vital source of income for many developing economies, supporting household consumption, investment, and economic growth. Traditionally, these transfers have been facilitated through established financial institutions, often involving significant fees and delays. The efficiency and cost of these transactions are central concerns for both senders and recipients.
