" $4.7bn remittance inflows makes Ghana the 4th largest recipient in Africa, World Bank says \r\n\r\nGhana is ranked the fourth highest recipient of remittance inflows on the African Continent by the World Bank.\r\n\r\nThis is due to some $4.7bn remittance inflows recorded for the year 2022.\r\n\r\nAccording to the World Bank, in the post-COVID period, remittances have become even more important as a source of external financing for countries globally.\r\n\r\nIn 2022, remittance flows to low- and middle-income countries increased by 8 percent, to reach $647 billion.\r\n \r\n\r\nIn Sub-Saharan Africa, remittance flows reached $53 billion in 2022, a 6.1 per cent increase from the previous year, following the strong growth of 16.3 per cent in 2021.\r\n\r\n \r\n \r\n\r\nRemittance inflows to the region are, however, projected to rise by 1.3 and 3.7 per cent in 2023 and 2024, respectively.\r\n\r\nEgypt was the largest recipient of remittances in the region with $28.3 billion in 2022.
