Where conditions are appropriate for adequate income generation, even where remittances have reached high levels, the private sector may flourish and be stimulated by remittances. Where there are opportunities, and where consumption goals have been satisfied, remittances are used for investment, stimulate entrepreneurial and trading activity, increase the extent of formal sector employment and produce multiplier effects. Remittance recipients make efforts to invest where they can, and there is minimal evidence that any part of the economy is abandoned or neglected, to be replaced by remittances.
