| Summary: | Remittances explores policy options for
enhancing the poverty alleviation impact of remittance money
in recipient countries, and addressees concerns about
increasing migration and inequality. It looks at new
technologies that allow remittance service providers to
reduce direct transaction costs and open new channels,
enhancing convenience for remitters and improving levels of
transparency and accountability for regulators and policy
makers. Importantly, it also establishes a baseline for
further research and collaborative effort, showing the areas
where the international financial institutions, particularly
the World Bank, can add value to enhance the positive impact
of remittance flows and minimize less welcome effects. |
