Dispora Nigerians Remit $18.97bn In 2016 – UN Report by Truth234(m): 5:39am On Jun 17, 2017 |
Nigerian migrant workers sent back home $18.956bn as remittances, a figure which indicated a 5.2 percent growth in nine years, a UN agency’s report showed on Wednesday. According to the report, titled Sending Money Home: Contributing to the SDGs, One Family at a Time and published on Wednesday, global migrant workers sent back to their home countries $445bn in 2016, lifting millions out of poverty. The United Nations International Fund for Agricultural Development said currently about 200 million migrants, by sending money home, have supported some 800 million family members globally. Women now comprise about half of all remittance senders, and it is believed that this trend can help advance gender equality and women’s empowerment through financial independence and better employment opportunities. The report, by the UN International Fund for Agricultural Development, said that remittance flows have grown over the last decade at an average rate of 4.2 percent annually, from $296bn in 2007 to $445bn in 2016. The top 10 sending countries account for almost half of annual flows, led by the U.S., Saudi Arabia and Russia. Up to 80 percent of remittances are received by 23 countries, led by China, India, the Philippines, Mexico and Pakistan. As to the remittance transfer method, cash-to-cash remains the most common form, while mobile phone networks, internet-based tools and digital money in various forms present a potentially transformative force for sending and receiving money. The report also pointed out that the most important objective going forward should be to leverage the potential development impact on the receiving side by providing remittance-receiving families better opportunities to use their money productively. http://investorsking.com/dispora-nigerians-remit-18-97bn-in-2016-un-report/ 3 Likes |

While it does help our local economy, it is also a reflection of our brain drain problem. We need more encouragement/opportunities of internal distributed wealth creation. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I can bet with my ynash that 90% of this diaspora are from the southern Nigeria and also 60% are the yahoo boys and drug lords the police intimidate everyday on the street. the CBN and banks are flexing with this foreign remittance. while Nigerians can only get forex from aboki or the street to carry out import. 16 Likes |

This is what is still keeping this country afloat. Foreign remittance sustaining several families because incomes have shrunk, salaries are delayed/ unpaid etc in Nigeria. Products of a failed government which can't create a sustainable environment for those within the country to easily generate their income. 22 Likes 2 Shares |
