Global economic crisis hits remittance inflow

Though, the number of Nepali migrant Nepali workers going for blue-collar jobs abraod has not decreased, the remittance inflow has slowed down.
According to Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB)'s macroeconomic report, in the first nine months of the current fiscal year remittance has shown slow growth of 9.6 per cent amounting to Rs 164.929 billion. In the corresponding period of the last fiscal year, it had increased by 60.3 per cent.
However, the number of migrant workers has touched 202,794 in the first nine months of this fiscal year. The number of Nepali migrant workers going abroad was 175,958 in the same period last fiscal year.
Within the first nine months of the fiscal year 2009-10, remittance escalation rate has gone down from the growth rate of 35.3 per cent in the first month – mid-august -- to 9.6 per cent in mid-April. While in the last fiscal year, remittance increment had gone up from 31.2 per cent to 42.5 per cent at the end of the fiscal year 2008-09.
Meanwhile, in the first month of the current fiscal year, the remittance had registered a growth of 35.3 per cent against the growth of 31.2 per cent in the corresponding period of last fiscal year.
In mid-September 2009, increment in remittance went down to 19.7 per cent since then it has been fluctuating – reaching 6.6 per cent in mid-November and it again increased to 10.4 per cent in mid-December from there it rose to 13.6 per cent in mid-February 2010. However, in mid-March remittance has gone down to 9.9 per cent.
International Monetary Fund (IMF) has also estimated the slowdown of remittance growth rate to an average of 11 per cent. "Since most of the destinations for foreign employment is still bearing the burnt of international economic crisis, our remittance is not growing as much as it has to,” said NRB’s spokesperson Gopal Kafle. "Besides, there is a speculation doing rounds that workers have been holding the cash for investment purpose instead of sending it back home," he said adding that the central bank is also suspicious that remittance money is being invested somewhere outside Nepal so that the incomes earned from abroad is not visible in the formal accounts. Kafle also blamed informal channels for the remittances’ slow growth in comparison to that of last year.
This retarded growth rate of remittance has affected the Nepal’s Balance of Payments (BoP) which is at the deficit of Rs 22.1 billion in the first nine months of the current fiscal year.
Similarly, at the time when there is liquidity crunch in the country, snail pace of remittance growth is also posing a great problem.

Thanks for the useful information on credit repair
on this particular site. Some tips i would advice people is
to give up the mentality they can buy now and pay later.
Being a society we all tend to try this for many
things. This includes vacation trips, furniture, as well as items we really want to
have. However, it is advisable to separate one's wants out of the needs. While you're
working to raise your credit score make some sacrifices.
For example you can shop online to save cash
or you can go to second hand stores instead of expensive department stores regarding clothing.

I have seen that wise real estate agents all over the place are starting to warm up to FSBO Advertising.
They are seeing that it's in addition to placing a poster in the front area. It's really about building associations with these vendors who sooner or later will become consumers.
So, if you give your time and energy to supporting these suppliers go it alone -- the "Law associated with Reciprocity" kicks in.

Thanks for your blog post.

Thanks for your useful article. Other thing is that mesothelioma cancer is generally a result
of the breathing of materials from asbestos, which is
a extremely dangerous material. It can be commonly seen among laborers in the engineering industry who have
long contact with asbestos. It can also be caused by moving into asbestos
insulated buildings for some time of time, Genetics plays a huge role, and some individuals are more
vulnerable for the risk as compared to others.
