Madrid : Les marocains sont la communauté étrangère en Espagne qui a envoyé le plus d’argent à son pays. Ils arrivent premiers devant les chinois et les équatoriens.En effet, le FIDA – Fonds international de développement agricole, banque onusienne d’aide au développement agricole et rural dans les pays en développement, a publié aujourd’hui lundi, un rapport sur les paiements réguliers que les travailleurs migrants envoient à leurs familles dans leurs pays d’origine.

Since Thursday June 11th, about 200 immigrants have been trying to cross the border between France and Italy, near the small town of Ventimiglia in Italy, but the French police have been preventing their entrance into the country. For the Italian Minister of the Interior, Angelino Alfano, this incident in Ventimiglia is “a slap in the face” from Europe. This weekend tensions increased between France and Italy concerning the issue of sharing responsibility for the increase in immigrants.

More than 400 policymakers, private-sector stakeholders and civil-society representatives observed the first International Day of Family Remittances today at the opening of the fifth Global Forum on Remittances and Development in Milan.

It is one of the hottest sectors in the global financial markets but rarely gets much attention: remittances.
Remittances are the small amounts of money that migrants in the rich world send to their families in the poor world – typically $200 (U.S.) a month. Until a few years ago, the remittances flow was either not measured or was measured poorly. That’s changing and the numbers associated with the market are astounding.

One in five migrant workers — about 50 million people — lives and works in Europe, making the region home to a quarter of global remittance flows, according to a new report by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).

Azimo, the London based digital money transfer service, announced today that it has raised an additional $20 million in financing. The funding will advance Azimo’s mission to be the world’s leading low-cost, mobile and social money transfer service.

Половина денежных переводов из Европы в страны Центральной Азии приходится на Россию. Об этом говорится в новой статистике по переводам, которую опубликовал Международный фонд развития сельского хозяйства (IFAD).

Украинские заробитчане стали рекордсменами по отправке домой денег среди всех стран мира. Правда, теперь они не только сами зарабатывают, но еще перевозят за границу безработных родственников и мужей, чтобы их не забрали в армию.

Sie arbeiten in Europa, doch ein Teil ihres Einkommens fließt zurück in die alte Heimat. Migranten senden laut einer Studie jährlich mehr als 109 Milliarden Dollar an Verwandte – und sind damit für manche Länder ein wichtiger Stabilitätsfaktor.

L’Europa non perde ricchezza nel momento in cui i suoi lavoratori immigrati inviano i soldi a casa. E questo denaro garantisce la sopravvivenza di oltre 150 milioni di persone. E’ il quadro disegnato dal rapporto “Mandare soldi a casa: flussi e mercati europei” presentato dal Fondo Internazionale per lo Sviluppo Agricolo e incentrato sull’analisi delle rimesse.
