Newly released figures from the Bank of Jamaica showed that Net Remittances for the month of October were approximately US$141.8Million, up 4.5% as compared to September 2012. This figure, however, was lower than 2011’s Net Remittances by 1.3%. Overall, throughout 2012 with 2 months to go Net Remittances have tracked almost directly in line with 2011’s Net Remittances.
Unfortunately, however, it has it fallen behind by 0.3% as compared to the period January through October 2011.
