The significant inflow of remittances to India is primarily due to its large number of international migrants, who send money back home, contributing to the economy. • India received over $111 billion in remittances in 2022, making it the largest recipient globally and the first country to surpass the $100 billion mark in remittances, as reported by the International Organisation for Migration (IOM). • The top five remittance recipient countries in 2022 were India, Mexico, China, the Philippines, and France, with India leading significantly. • Southern Asia, particularly India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, receives substantial remittance inflows, highlighting the importance of labor migration from the region. • India's position as a top recipient has been consistent over the years, being the highest in 2010, 2015, and 2020, with continuous growth leading to the milestone in 2022. • The IOM's report also notes that migrant workers from these countries face risks such as financial exploitation and workplace abuses. • India not only leads in receiving remittances but is also the origin of the largest number of international migrants, with significant diasporas in the UAE, the USA, and Saudi Arabia. • The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) States, where migrants comprise a high percentage of the population, are major destinations for workers from the subregion. • The dynamics of global migration also reflect in changing patterns, such as China experiencing a contraction in remittance flows due to demographic shifts and strict COVID-19 policies. • India is involved in some of the top international country-to-country migration corridors, demonstrating its significant role in global migration patterns. • The report highlights the severe impacts of the pandemic on Indian migrant workers, especially those who are low-skilled or undocumented, facing job losses and deepened financial insecurity.
