HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE 2010 Conference

REMITTANCES ARE A BIG BUSINESS...

Estimates put the value of official flows at $300bn - with unofficial flows probably worth half as much again – ie in excess of $450bn per year.

Never has awareness of remittances been higher.  There are huge opportunities in the market place and massive commitment on the part of policy makers at the global level to co-ordinate activity and, despite the global downturn, there is still double-digit growth in remittances as workers continue to migrate. There is no doubt, also, that the long term trends in global migration mean that remittances will continue to grow and to provide an outstanding business opportunity for those players who know how to position themselves in the market.  And there has never been a more opportune time for existing operators to take a hard look at their current business and ensure that it is in the optimum shape and for potential new entrants to re-evaluate their market entry strategy.  ICBI’s second annual remittances conference will afford you such an opportunity as 40+ leading experts in the field address your major concerns.
