Summary

Jamaica’s remittances hit a record $3.2 billion last year, up nearly 4% — driven by a major surge through official channels (+$170M) while informal methods dipped. The U.S. remains the top sender ($2.1B, up 5%), with the UK and Canada also growing, especially the UK with double-digit gains. This signals a steady shift toward formal remittance systems, highlighting how global money flows continue to fuel local families.
