In the last decade remittances grew by an average rate of 9% per year, much faster than GDP and consumption. Seventy percent are sent through money-transfer operators (MTOs) and the national post-office (Barid Al Maghrib, Morocco’s Post Office). Instead of attempting to convince migrants to send more money, the government should first make sure that fees unfairly extracted on previous remittances be paid back. Barid Al Maghrib has an exclusivity agreement with Western Union.Text1 digital file (12 p. : ill.)enCOMPETITIONLAWREMITTANCESMONETARY TRANSFERSMIGRANT WORKERSPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONMOROCCOCOMPETITION LAWMONOPOLIESNORTH OF SAHARAPresentation
