India continues to be the top recipient of global remittance flow at $52 billion in 2009, the World Bank has said in a report.
Remittance is defined as the sum of money paid to someone at a distance. A 'remittance transfer' refers to the transfer of money from an individual, usually a person who has emigrated from her city or country of origin, to another individual, usually a relative who remains at home.
Migrant remittance flow to developing countries, including India, will be around $317 billion this year, a lower-than-expected fall from the year-ago level, but will return to the recovery path in years to come, the World Bank has said.
