Earlier, the report by the World Bank also predicted that the global remittances will reduce by about 20 percent, of which the East Asia and Pacific region will see a decrease of 13 percent. The main reason is a decline in the cash flow from the US – the largest source of remittances of this region.

Based on this information, experts forecast that overseas remittances to Vietnam this year will be affected as the country is the third-largest remittance recipient in the East Asia and Pacific region.
