Overview

This study examines remittance use and investment barriers among returnee Sri Lankan migrants, revealing key insights into economic potential.

Key Points

  • The majority of remittances from returnee migrants are spent on consumption, limiting economic reintegration.
  • Investigations found that 78% of remittance use is directed towards non-productive purposes instead of investments.
  • Primary data were obtained through interviews and a survey, aiming to assess the varied remittance utilization across skill levels.
  • The findings suggest that support for business ventures is lacking, with high-skilled returnees facing unique barriers.
