International remittance flows have proven their resilience through the COVID-19 pandemic-induced economic crisis in spite of initial expectations forecasting their decline and associated devastating consequences for development in recipient communities and countries.

Briefing 17-04-2019

Cette accusation, entre autres facteurs, a donné lieu à une baisse significative des émissions depuis la crise, tant en Europe qu'aux États-Unis. Néanmoins, la situation réelle est plus nuancée: s'il est vrai que la titrisation présente de véritables risques, elle peut également offrir des avantages aux émetteurs, aux investisseurs et à l'économie en général ...

This overview of financing for developing countries finds that government spending is the largest domestic resource, domestic private investment is also growing, outflows of private financial resources are very large, real net financial private flows are overstated, and ODA is the largest flow to least developed countries. Global public finance cannot be directly substituted by private finance, as it pays for public goods, is more predictable and counter-cyclical, and can be targeted at the poorest ...
