VOV.VN - Foreign remittances to Ho Chi Minh City in the first 8 months of this year through official channels are estimated at US$2.85 billion, up nearly 6% against the same period last year.
The amount of remittances depends on the macro economy of the host country, guest workers’ situation and remittance services. Remittances to HCM City grew 10-12% annually over the last five years.
Mr Minh forecast that in the current situation, remittances to the city may reach US$5.7-5.8 billion this year.
