Remittance markets in remittance-source countries. France / Frederic Ponsot -- United Kingdom / Leon Isaacs.Remittances sent by African migrants have become an important source of external finance for countries in the Sub-Saharan African region. In many African countries, these flows are larger than foreign direct investment and portfolio debt and equity flows. In some cases, they are similar in size to official aid from multilateral and bilateral donors. Remittance markets in Africa, however, remain less developed than other regions. The share of informal or unrecorded remittances is among the highest for Sub-Saharan African countries. Remittance costs tend to be significantly higher in Africa bothDirections in development (Washington, D.C.).Finance.World Bank e-Library.Emigrant remittancesAfrica, Sub-SaharanEconomic developmentFinanceAfrica, Sub-SaharanFinancial services industryAfrica, Sub-SaharanAfricansEconomic aspectsEurope, WesternImmigrantsEconomic aspectsEurope, WesternAfrica, Sub-SaharanEmigration and immigrationEconomic aspectsAfrica, Sub-SaharanEconomic conditionsEmigrant remittancesEconomic developmentFinanceFinancial services industryAfricansEconomic aspectsImmigrantsEconomic aspects332.450869120967Mohapatra Sanket1975-1595708Ratha Dilip1595709IEN/DLCDLCYDXYDXCPBWXCDXDLCBOOK9910814043003321Remittance markets in Africa4106928UNINA
