Currency fluctuations can also skew remittance patterns. American greenbacks and euros areno longer sought after in those African countries where currencies have appreciated sharplyin real terms thanks to demand for the commodities they export. When you send dollarsback to a family in Angola, they don t feel as rich as before, says Marcelo Giugale of theWorld Bank. Working in Europe for five years no longer buys a house back home.
现期的货币波动可能影响汇款模式。美元和欧元再不是非洲国家追逐的对象了。这些地区的货币急剧升值这归因于对他们出口商品需求的增加,当你送回美元到阿格拉家庭中的时候,他们不会像以前那样感到富有。来自世界银行的Marcelo Giugale 说,在欧洲工作5年再也不能在家乡购买一套房子了。
The question is whether migrants will react by spending longer in far-flung destinations, or bystaying closer to home. Many already go for the second option: one-tenth of remittances toAfrica come from within the continent. South Africa sends most of its $1.4 billion inremittances to its neighbours, for example.
问题是这些移民是否愿意为长远的目标做出反映,或者呆在家里。很多人已经选择第二个选择了:十分之一汇向非洲国家的汇款来自欧洲国家。例如,南非已汇款形式想起邻邦输送1亿美元。
In the rich world, many countries have closed their borders to protect home-grown workers.America has made its southern frontier harder to cross, which partly explains the slowdownin immigration from Mexico. Emigration has risen, too, since the economy stalled. Butperhaps because they know it will be harder to come back, migrants are staying longer.According to the Pew Hispanic Centre, 27% of Mexicans deported from America in 2010 hadbeen in the country for at least a year, up from 6% in 2005. That may help explain whyremittances from America fell by only 5% in 2009, whereas in Britain, which has openborders with some of its biggest senders of immigrants, they fell by 27% . Stricter border controls keep migrants in as well as out, and theremittances flowing.
