Summary: | This regional forum aims at sharing
knowledge and generating policy dialogue among relevant
remittance stakeholders to enhance the efficiency and
integrity of the migration and remittance transfer process,
through effective regulatory and supervisory systems in the
Caribbean region. It allows multiple countries to share
their experiences, identify common challenges, learn from
each others' experiences and discuss potential
solutions to these challenges. The forum will also provide
opportunities for networking. The past discussions on
remittances and migration in the Caribbean focused largely
on issues related to the Caribbean Diaspora, such as the
brain-drain syndrome, the macroeconomic impact of
remittances, the use of remittances for investment purposes,
overall remittance patterns and trends, and remittance data
collection and monitoring issues. In recent years, however,
the regulatory framework for Remittance Service Providers
(RSPs) has been introduced or substantially enhanced in many
countries, triggered by the need to address money laundering
and terrorist financing concerns. This forum focuses the
discussion on regulatory practices within and outside the
Caribbean region with a view to share best practices and
lessons learned. |
