The Bangladesh Remittance Riddle

An ongoing dump of stuff I've been thinking about with respect to Bangladesh's recent foreign exchange crisis and how the private sector could help.

Specifically:

  • The problem Bangladesh is facing.
  • Who's sending money home?
  • How much money is currently being sent home?
    • How is this money being sent home?
  • How much money is still stuck outside Bangladesh?
    • Is any of this money persuadable, i.e. willing to come home?
  • What might a modern platform to send money back to Bangladesh look like?
    • How could such a platform be made financially sustainable?
