Even in times of crisis, #FamilyRemittances sent home to loved ones remain a reliable source of income for millions.

@IFADPresident told leaders at #GFRID Summit in Kenya that it's time we recognize migrant workers as essential development contributors.

By sending money home to their families, migrant workers make an invaluable contribution to supporting the world’s most vulnerable people.

#FamilyRemittances are an engine for socio-economic growth.

[Donal Brown @DonalFBrown]

Remittances are a lifeline to so many families. It is estimated that half of all remittances flows go to rural areas where #financialinclusion rates are lower and payments @ digital infrastructure weaker. Today I attended the #GFRID summit in Nairobi. We can fix all that.

[Pedro de Vasconcelos @DevasconcelosP]

“given better opportunities to save, remittance families will save more.
Given appropriate investment options, remittance families will invest more.
And given better mechanisms to invest in human capital, remittance families will live better lives.”

'De-risking, in general a positive term, in reality implies denial of services and closure of accounts because of AML-CFT risk concerns, de-facto impending migrants to send mittances to their loved ones living in fragile risky countries'. @LouisDeKoker at #GFRID Summit

#African #Diaspora #Remittances count for about 2% of African #GDP. This capital is significant as a social transfer in some countries, as well as for the balance of #payments purposes.

15 years ago #remittances were unaccounted for because migrant workers and their families 'didn't count' in international discourse. #COVID19 demonstrated that remittances, in the aggregate impact entire communities. This is a call to all nations to make remittances “count more”

[European Union in Ghana @EuropeInGhana]

On the International Day of Family Remittances, we are glad to announce new partnerships under the #GrEEnProject to boost #financialinclusion and leverage #remittances to offer innovative solutions both at country level and for the diaspora.

It is with a heavy heart that I learned today of the passing of my respected predecessor, William Lacy Swing, in Kuala Lumpur.

On behalf of IOM, I offer my sincere condolences to his family, particularly his wife Yuen, his son Brian and his daughter Gabrielle.

The world’s major economies have paused debt repayments from the poorest countries.
