    Content: Workers' remittances have been playing an increasingly important role in the balance of payments of many countries and can significantly contribute to the strength of their external positions. Assessing the likely stability of remittance flows could be a valuable input to the analysis of their external vulnerabilities. This paper argues that "altruism," as a motive to send money home, would contribute to the stability of these flows. Using a simple framework that relates workers' remittances to agricultural GDP, which is used as an indicator of economic "hardship" in the home country, evidence suggests that altruism could have played an important role in the flow of remittances to Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Pakistan, and Tunisia in recent years.

    Content: This paper provides a model on how altruism, ""attachment"" to the home country, and portfolio diversification may act as potential motives behind workers'' remittances. It shows that the level of workers'' remittances depends on how great are their degrees of altruism and ""attachment"" to their home country, and should also depend on interest rate differentials between the home country and the country of residence if portfolio diversification motives are significant in the decision to remit. The model is applied to Morocco using co-integration techniques. The paper then discusses the stability of remittances in Morocco and the policy implications in light of the empirical findings

    Series Statement: IMF Working Papers
    Content: Banks across the Caribbean have lost important Correspondent Banking Relationships (CBRs). The macroeconomic impact has so far been limited, in part because banks either have multiple relationships or have been successful in replacing lost CBRs. However, the cost of services has increased substantially, some services have been cut back, and some sectors have experienced reduced access. Policy options to address multiple drivers, including lower profitability and risk aversion by global banks, require tailored actions by several stakeholders.
    Note: Cover -- CONTENTS -- ABSTRACT -- I. INTRODUCTION -- II. WHY DO CBRS MATTER? -- III. THE WITHDRAWAL OF CBRS - HOW SEVERE HAS IT BEEN? -- A. Global Trends -- B. Caribbean Developments -- C. Potential Factors Behind the Withdrawal of CBRs in the Caribbean -- IV. POLICY OPTIONS TO ADDRESS THE LOSS OF CBRS -- V. CONCLUSION -- ANNEX 1. MACROECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS OF A CONTINUED LOSS OF CBRS: AN ILLUSTRATIVE CASE FOR BELIZE -- ANNEX II. CASE STUDIES -- ANNEX III. AN ECONOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE DETERMINANTS OF THE WITHDRAWAL OF CBRS -- VI. ANNEX IV. IMF SURVEY.
