Migration, Remittances & Development

The Inter-American Dialogue’s Migration, Remittances and Development Program seeks to leverage migration and remittances for development. We focus on policies governing the flow of remittances, private sector financial and remittance services, and financial access for migrants and remittance recipient families. Through research, policy analysis, technical assistance, product development and project implementation, we have raised awareness and forged partnerships among public and private institutions in over 80 countries around the world.

Remittance Industry Observatory

As the competitive nature of remittance industry moves forward, the US economy shows signs of improvement, Latin American migration patterns shift, and various countries in the Americas review their legislation on migration, it is becoming increasingly important for industry leaders to stay informed of the trends that will affect their businesses. The Remittance Industry Observatory seeks to improve knowledge and information about the remittance market.

Orozco: “Nicaragua atraviesa uno de los peores momentos de su historia en el siglo XXI”

Manuel Orozco, Director del Program de Migraciones, Remesas y Desarrollo, participó en una entrevista con Expediente Público donde pronosticó un incremento de la migración de los nicaragüenses tras las elecciones de este 7 de noviembre debido al nuevo fraude electoral en Nicaragua. Según Orozco, la intención a migrar creció de 19% en 2019 a 34% en 2021. Durante la entrevista también se habló sobre el crecimiento del envío de remesas hacia Nicaragua, siendo el único indicador macroeconómico positivo desde la crisis.
