The findings in this report are based on a series of studies and surveys commissioned by the IFAD and on analyses undertaken by IFAD on World Bank data. Financial contributions in support of the report were made by members of the IFAD-administered Financing Facility for Remittances, including the European Commission, the Government of Luxembourg, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of Spain, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, and the United Nations Capital Development Fund.

This report is an executive summary of a forthcoming compilation of studies on remittances to Asia and the Pacific.
