The value of remittances has picked up steadily since the pandemic, with inflows during the previous fiscal year reaching a record high last year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All in all, remittances to low- and middle-income nations are set to grow by 4.2% to USD 630 bn this year<\/strong>, the World Bank said, following a growth of 8.6% last year when remittances hit USD 605 mn.
