I put up a proposal to merge this page with Remittances from overseas. These articles cover the same topic. The question is which title to use. I think "remittances" works the best.--Bkwillwm 02:24, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Agreed! - tk, 0643(GMT), 2006-03-30
Seeing as how the merge/redirect seems to have been completed, I'm going to remove the tag. --Betterliving 18:10, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
This article should be expanded to include just how much each of the countries in the mentioned regions benefit from remmitances.
There is another meaning of Remittances Discussed here : "Remittance also refers to the accounting concept of a monetary payment transferred by a customer to a business" I think more light should be thrown on this topic alongwith the discussed concept of money transfer from forigners.

[edit] Need to add research institutes and links to work
I added some external links to work on emergencies (of which I'm a part). I'll look to add links to the leading development and finance institutes working on remittances next (unless someone else does it first).
eg world bank remittances research asian development bank inter-american development bank

[edit] Top ten remittance recipient countries
It would be better if the table of "Top ten remittance recipient countries" instead listed the countries whose share of remittance in GDP is the highest, not absolute value. France might get 12 billion in remittances, but that's peanuts compared to its overall GDP as opposed to say, Haiti, which probably gets much less in absolute value but where the remittances are much larger relative to the overall size of the economy.radek (talk) 00:48, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Useless disambiguation notice
The disambiguation notice at the top of the page is fairly useless; the article it links to does not mention remittance at all, indicating a need for it to be covered in the accounting sense on this article. Is there any reason why that meaning is not covered here? If not, is it worth tagging this article for the attention of someone who can explain the concept? me_and (talk) 13:35, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
