This report on the U.S.- Honduras
remittance corridor describes the remittance regulatory and
market environment, financial inclusion strategies by
financial institutions, transnational economic activities,
and the impacts of remittances on the Honduran economy. Six
areas provide the focus of this report: (i) regulatory
reforms for the remittance market are urgent in order to
improve clarity in regulations as well as to include money
transfer companies in the regulatory framework; (ii) money
service businesses will benefit from an examination of state
regulation and their subsequent harmonization and
coordination; (iii) rural areas need to improve distributive
infrastructure to better reap the benefits of the remittance
flows; (iv) financial education and awareness for Honduran
migrant communities are critical components with the overall
remittance flow equation; (v) the regulatory environment of
remittance flows would be greatly enhanced through the
promotion, inclusion, and expansion of proper
identification; and (vi) public policies can be directed to
building an environment for diaspora investments in the
community and local business developments for exports to
Honduran communities abroad. |
