Abstract
Preliminary estimates, based on data on
bilateral migrant stocks for 2010 and assumptions about
migrant incomes, suggest that annual diaspora savings of
developing countries could be in the range of $400 billion.
Diaspora saving as a share of Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
is estimated to be 2.3 percent in middle-income countries
and as high as 9 percent in low-income countries.
