Remittances in Pakistan are those inward money transfers received from Pakistani migrant workers who are working outside of Pakistan (usually in the GCC or US/Canada, UK, EU, AUS/NZ, etc.)

These inward money transfers (which are usually monthly) for purposes of family maintenance are deemed remittances.

How does the flourishing economy of Saudi Arabia indirectly help the economy of Pakistan?

How remittances regarded as a curse?

Remittances can be regarded as a curse because they may create dependency on foreign income, leading to a lack of motivation for local economic development and job creation. This reliance can weaken local labor markets and contribute to inflation, particularly in the housing sector, making it harder for those who do not receive remittances to afford basic necessities. Additionally, substantial remittance flows can lead to currency appreciation, which can hinder the competitiveness of local industries. Overall, while remittances provide immediate financial relief, they can inadvertently stifle long-term economic growth and self-sufficiency.


Why is economic development in central America limited?

In Central America, one of the primary problems is that Central American economies are dependent on remittances or the money they get from citizens working in other countries. For instance, in El Salvador, the financial sector is dependent on the remittances El Salvador receives from the United States.Another problem in Central America that has come about because of the decline in the agriculture industry is unemployment. This leads to people seeking work in other countries, which both makes the economy dependent on remittances, and does not contribute to the creation of viable economies in their home countries.
