Indians living abroad have set a new record by transferring a staggering $129.4 billion in 2024. This increase in remittances comes despite inflation in the source regions, showcasing the strong financial support provided to families back home. The rise in remittances can be attributed to the recovery of job markets in OECD countries after the pandemic. India maintains its dominant position in global remittances, with forecasts suggesting that the amount could reach $160 billion by 2029. This trend highlights the vital role that overseas Indians play in supporting the Indian economy and the financial well-being of their loved ones.
