Tagged: Cuba, Mexico, remittancePosted on: October 24th, 2007“The first study of global remittances found that migrants sent more than $300 billion home to their families last year, with India edging out Mexico as the top recipient.
India got $24.5 billion, while Mexico received $24.2 billion. China was third with $21 billion, according to the U.N. agency that released the report Wednesday.
The study also took a stab at estimating remittances to places where the numbers are difficult to tabulate, such as Cuba, Haiti, Iraq, Myanmar (also known as Burma), Afghanistan and Somalia.”*
