Remittance flows to Latin America and the Caribbean have shown remarkable resilience over the past decade, presenting an opportunity for reflection and projection. Despite continued revenue and volume growth for major players, early indicators in the first quarter of 2025 suggest mixed results—raising important questions about the future of this critical economic lifeline.

The event will convene experts to examine the sustained success of the remittance industry, emerging competitive forces, and the interplay between migration policies and cross-border money transfers. It will also address how regulation, innovation, and geopolitical shifts are shaping opportunities and challenges in the year ahead.

How can this sustained growth across the board be explained? What have been the main challenges for companies? What should be expected for 2025? How much do policies on remittances and migration affect remittance growth? Are there key businesses that are challenging the status quo? What are the opportunities—and obstacles—for growth in 2025? And how will migration patterns and regulations affect this entire ecosystem?

Join the Inter-American Dialogue on Thursday, April 24, 2025, from 9:15 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. ET for a discussion exploring the landscape of remittances and the evolving migration context in 2025.
