India to retain its position as world's top recipient of remittances this year: World Bank

10 Dec 2018 Evaluate

The World Bank in its latest report has said that India will retain its position as the world's top recipient of remittances this year with its diaspora sending a whopping $80 billion back home. Report highlighted that India is followed by China ($67 billion), Mexico and the Philippines ($34 billion each) and Egypt ($26 billion).

The report also mentioned that over the last three years, India has registered a significant flow of remittances from $62.7 billion in 2016 to $65.3 billion 2017. In 2017, remittances constituted 2.7% of India's GDP. Besides, it estimates that officially-recorded remittances to developing countries will increase by 10.8% to reach $528 billion in 2018. This new record level follows a robust growth of 7.8% in 2017. Global remittances, which include flows to high-income countries, are projected to grow by 10.3% to $689 billion. Meanwhile, it stated that remittances to South Asia are projected to increase by 13.5% to $132 billion in 2018, a stronger pace than the 5.7% growth seen in 2017.

The upsurge is driven by stronger economic conditions in advanced economies, particularly the US, and the increase in oil prices having a positive impact on outflows from some GCC countries such as the UAE which reported a 13% growth in outflows for the first half of 2018. For the Year 2019, the bank said it is expecting that remittances growth for the region will slow to 4.3% on account of a moderation of growth in advanced economies, lower migration to the GCC and the benefits from the oil price spurt dissipating.
