Migrants used to pay a fee of almost 15% on average to send money back home; this has fallen to less than 9%, and in some cases nearly to zero, which should be the universal goal. Given that migrants remitted $401 billion last year to developing countries alone, such progress is freeing up tens of billions of dollars for some of the world’s poorest households.
合作已经带来了不少惊人的好处。过去，移民汇款回家平均要缴纳近15%的费用；该费用如今已经下降至9%，有的甚至已经接近于零，这样的改进能惠及所有人。去年，光是发展中国家就收到了4010亿美元的侨民汇款，因此这一改进让全球最贫困家庭多了数百亿美元收入。
