For example, the cost of sending remittances from France to Senegal has gone up from 9.3 per cent to 12.3 per cent between 2008 and 2012 (Figure 11.2). As Figure 11.3 indicates, there are also significant variations across time and across host countries when the cost of sending remittances to Haiti is considered. The first element, i.e. the fee, appears to be relatively stable although, over the past few years since the data started to be generated, the fee charged has seen some increase for certain agents whilst it has come down for others.
