IMTC announces its first Remittances & Migration Conference, IMTC LATAM 2017 in Antigua, Guatemala on March 8-10, 2017

Market leaders, Banco G&T Continental and Banrural have been announced as the Main Sponsors of the event

Miami, January 5, 2017 – IMTC, the premier events of the International Money Transfer & Payments Industry, has announced today that its first remittance & migration conference of 2017 will be held in Antigua, Guatemala at the Porta Hotel. IMTC LATAM 2017 will be it’s first conference in Central America and will draw attendees from the Americas & Europe.

Remittances to Guatemala will surpass US 7 Billion for 2016, an all-time high. Remittances to Guatemala have grown steadily since 2010 with an average growth of 6% per year, outperforming most of the countries in the region. But also El Salvador, Honduras and even Mexico has seen remittances grow in 2016, all of them reaching all-time highs. Remittances to Honduras are expected to reach 4 billion while El Salvador could reach 4.5 B when year-end statistics are published. Higher incomes in the US and Trump fears are cited as reasons for the increases.

The main objective of this event is to explore the remittance market in the region, learn what bank and non-bank institutions are doing to serve the families of migrants, the financial inclusion efforts, the technological innovations that are slowly reaching this market as well as the migration-related laws and regulations implemented in several countries (anti-coyote laws) and the humane treatment of migrant minors.

Hugo Cuevas-Mohr, Director at IMTC, states: “Now that migration & remittances are at the center of the political debates in Europe & the US, it is important for the industry to work together with the civil society, regulators & politicians. The importance of remittances to every country in the region is enormous and we must work together to defend the right of migrants to help their families back home. The industry has always been part of the solution.”

Mr. Cuevas-Mohr will be visiting Guatemala on January 15-18 to meet with representatives from the industry, the government and the media to increase awareness on the coming event and discuss agenda topics with potential speakers and panelists.

IMTC organizes IMTC WORLD in Miami Beach, the largest industry gathering in the world, IMTC USA in San Francisco (June), IMTC EMEA in Madrid (April) and IMTC AFRICA in Nairobi, Kenya (September).

IMTC anuncia su primera Conferencia de Remesas y Migración, IMTC LATAM 2017 en Antigua, Guatemala del 8 al 10 de marzo de 2017

Instituciones líderes en el mercado, Banco G & T Continental y Banrural han sido anunciados como los principales patrocinadores del evento

Miami, 5 de enero de 2017 – IMTC, organizador de los principales eventos de la Industria de Transferencias, Remesas y Pagos Internacionales, ha anunciado hoy que su primera conferencia de remesas y migración de 2017 se llevará a cabo en Antigua, Guatemala, en el Porta Hotel.

Las remesas a Guatemala superarán los 7 mil millones de dólares para 2016, un récord histórico. Las remesas a Guatemala han crecido constantemente desde 2010 con un crecimiento promedio de 6% anual, superando a la mayoría de los países de la región. Pero también El Salvador, Honduras e incluso México han visto crecer las remesas en el 2016, todos alcanzando máximos históricos. Se espera que las remesas a Honduras lleguen a 4 mil millones, mientras que El Salvador podría alcanzar los 4,5oo millones cuando se publiquen las estadísticas de fin de año. Los mayores ingresos de trabajadores en los EE.UU. y los temores de la nueva administración Trump se citan como razones para los aumentos.

El objetivo principal de este evento es explorar el mercado de remesas en la región, conocer lo que las instituciones bancarias y no bancarias están haciendo para atender a las familias de los migrantes, los esfuerzos en inclusión financiera, las innovaciones tecnológicas que lentamente llegan a este mercado, Las leyes y reglamentos relacionados con la migración aplicados en varios países (leyes contra coyotes) y el trato humano de los menores migrantes.

Hugo Cuevas-Mohr, Director del IMTC, afirmó: “Ahora que la migración y las remesas están en el centro de los debates políticos en Europa y Estados Unidos, es importante que la industria trabaje junto con la sociedad civil, los reguladores y los políticos. La importancia de las remesas para todos los países de la región es enorme y debemos trabajar juntos para defender el derecho de los migrantes a ayudar a sus familias en sus países de origen. La industria siempre ha sido parte de la solución “.
