In Asia’s developing countries, the power and potential of remittances – the money that migrant workers send home to their families (many of whom live in poor and remote areas) – is immense. Currently, over 60 million migrant workers from the Asia/Pacific region account for more than half of all remittance flows to developing countries, sending home about $260 billion in 2012.
在亚洲发展中国家中，侨汇（即移民工人寄给往往生活在贫困和边远地区的祖国家庭的汇款）的力量和潜力是巨大的。目前，亚太地区超过6000万赴外务工人员汇出的侨汇占流向发展中国家侨汇总量的一大半，2012年就汇出了2600亿美元。
