Study Figure 8, a map showing personal remittances received as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2022.
World map showing personal remittances received as a percentage of GDP in 2022. The map uses a colour scale: light yellow (<1%) for countries like the USA, Canada, Germany and Australia; orange (1-5%) for countries like India and Mexico; medium brown (5-15%) for countries like Egypt and the Philippines; and dark brown (>15%) for nations such as Nepal, Tajikistan, Haiti, and Honduras, indicating extremely high reliance on money sent home by citizens working abroad.
Suggest one possible economic impact of the global pattern shown on the countries highly reliant on these flows.
