Date:
05.Jun.2008
Time:
11:30 hrs
Place:
Campana Hall, CIDOB Foundation. C/ Elisabets, 24. 08001 Barcelona
Organised by:
Migrations Programme of the CIDOB Foundation in collaboration with the Department of Equality and Citizenship of the Diputación of Barcelona

The presentation of the research project led by Iliana Olivié and Juan Ponce represents an opportunity to discuss the role played by remittances in the development of a country such as Ecuador, which has a large proportion of its population living abroad. The research highlights the impact of remittances on Ecuador's development at a macro level, as well as examining to what extent these payments contribute to the equilibrium and stability of the balance of payments, in addition to their impact on social development and the eradication of poverty. The workshop has been devised as a space for debate and joint reflection on the subject of remittances viewed as an instrument for development.
