The <keyword id="6354424" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="world-bank" source="Orion">World Bank</keyword>'s latest Migration and Development Brief reveals a continuing growth in remittance flows to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in 2023, albeit at a slower pace compared to previous years. According to the World Bank, the report highlights <keyword id="3658" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="india" source="Orion">India</keyword>'s significant position as the top remittance recipient, drawing attention to the evolving dynamics in the remittance landscape. Remittances to LMICs grew by an estimated 3.8 per cent in 2023, reaching a total of USD669 billion. Resilient labour markets in advanced economies and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries played a pivotal role in supporting migrants' ability to send money home. The report suggests a potential risk of a decline in real income for migrants in 2024 due to global inflation and low growth prospects. In the South Asian region, remittance flows to India experienced notable growth, contributing to the overall positive trend. South Asia, as a whole, witnessed a 7.2 per cent increase in remittances in 2023. The Indian economy, buoyed by a tight labour market in the United States and robust employment growth in Europe, outperformed previous forecasts by reaching USD125 billion in remittances for the year. Despite the positive trajectory, the report underscores challenges and potential risks. The Middle East and North Africa saw a decline in remittance flows for the second consecutive year, mainly driven by a sharp drop in flows to Egypt. Remittance flows to Europe and Central Asia also decreased by 1.4 per cent after a significant gain in 2022. India retained its position as the largest recipient of remittances, with an estimated USD125 billion in 2023. This underscores the crucial role played by the Indian <keyword id="57609" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="diaspora" source="Orion">diaspora</keyword> in supporting families and contributing to the country's economic resilience. The top five remittance recipient countries include Mexico (USD 67 billion), China (USD 50 billion), the Philippines (USD 40 billion), and Egypt (USD 24 billion). The report raises awareness about the potential impact of global economic conditions on remittance flows. The expectation of weaker economic activity in several high-income countries and the prospect of weaker job markets may soften the growth of remittances to LMICs, projecting a 3.1 per cent increase in 2024. The need for caution is emphasized, considering volatile oil prices, currency exchange rates, and the possibility of a deeper-than-expected economic downturn in high-income countries. The World Bank's Remittances Prices Worldwide Database reveals that remittance costs remain persistently high, averaging 6.2 per cent to send USD 200 as of the second quarter of 2023. The report highlights that banks continue to be the costliest channel for sending remittances, with an average cost of 12.1 per cent. A special section of the report emphasizes the potential of leveraging remittances for development finance, particularly through diaspora bonds. Diaspora bonds can be structured to tap into diaspora savings held in foreign destinations, providing a stable source of funds. The report suggests that remittances have surpassed the sum of foreign direct investment and official development assistance in recent years, presenting opportunities for private capital mobilization. India's prominence in the global remittance landscape is a testament to the significant role played by the Indian diaspora in supporting the country's economy. While challenges and risks persist, the report emphasizes the need for inclusive labour markets and social protection policies to sustain remittance flows, which serve as vital lifelines for developing countries like India.

Though Taiwan has been <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-34729538">independently ruled</a> since the end of the Chinese Civil War, Beijing considers the island to be a renegade province that remains part of the country's territory. Taiwan, however, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-55851052">views itself</a> as an independent state with its own leaders, military force, and constitution. As <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/25/world/asia/john-cena-taiwan-apology.html">The New York Times' reporter Daniel Victor</a> states, calling Taiwan a sovereign nation, as Cena did during his interview with TVBS, is deemed "offensive" by many people in China.The actor, who plays Dom Toretto's long-lost brother in "F9," apologized for his "mistake" on Tuesday in a video he released on Weibo, a social-media platform that is popular in China. "I made a mistake. I must say now that, very very very importantly, I love and respect China and Chinese people," Cena <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-05-25/movie-star-john-cena-apologizes-after-calling-taiwan-a-country">said in Mandarin</a>, according to Bloomberg, though the WWE star did not specifically mention Taiwan or get into the details of his earlier comment in the apology video. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet blockquote" data-lang="en" data-cards="" data-conversation="">-Joe Xu (@JoeXu) <a href="https://twitter.com/mims/statuses/1396910262494457856?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 24, 2021</a></blockquote>According to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/25/media/john-cena-china-taiwan-f9-intl-hnk/index.html">CNN</a>, Cena's video has garnered over 7,000 responses on Weibo.Some expressed gratitude that Cena released the statement, pointing to his Mandarin proficiency and time spent in China as signs that he supports the country. "Looking at his previous interviews, I can feel that he really likes China," one user <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/25/media/john-cena-china-taiwan-f9-intl-hnk/index.html">wrote</a>, according to CNN. "He said the wrong thing and paid the price. He is different from other foreign actors who dare not respond or have different political opinions."Others, however, remained unconvinced of the actor's stance on the situation and felt the apology should have leaned further into politics. "Please say 'Taiwan is part of China' in Chinese, otherwise we will not accept," a commenter <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/25/world/asia/john-cena-taiwan-apology.html">said</a>, according to the New York Times.Another user <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/25/media/john-cena-china-taiwan-f9-intl-hnk/index.html">wrote</a>, "I don't understand why the Chinese people should be so tolerant to him, who has a vague political stance while profiting from Chinese people."Representatives for Cena didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.<div type="image" title="fast and furious 9" height="1308" width="2232" msid="82959239" hostid="261"></div>Last year China <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-box-office-surpasses-north-america-worlds-biggest-this-year-2020-10#:~:text=The%20China%20box%20office%20has,this%20year%20with%20%242%20billion&amp;text=The%20China%20box%20office%20this,surpassing%20North%20America's%20%241.94%20billion.billion.">became Hollywood's biggest international market</a>, with its $1.99 billion in yearly earnings surpassing North America's $1.94 billion.Insider reporter <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-chinas-box-office-dominance-means-for-hollywood-2021-4">Travis Clark</a> writes that research firm Ampere Analysis "expects China to remain the No. 1 market in the world indefinitely," especially as US theaters make a slow recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. The Chinese box office demonstrated its power during "F9's" opening weekend in the country. The ninth film in the popular franchise grossed $163 million internationally, <a href="https://deadline.com/2021/05/f9-opening-weekend-china-international-box-office-universal-fast-and-furious-1234760092/">with $136 million coming from Chinese theaters,</a> according to Deadline. The movie doesn't open in the US until June 25. Aside from "F9," no Hollywood movie has <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/fast-and-furious-9-dominating-china-box-office-analysis-2021-5#:~:text=%22Fast%20and%20Furious%209%2C%22,its%20opening%20weekend%20in%20China.">earned more than $100 million</a> in its opening weekend in China since 2019's "Avengers: Endgame," proving blockbusters' potential in the region as the US theatrical market inches back to normalcy. <div type="image" title="John Cena" height="1333" width="2000" msid="82959240" hostid="261"></div>In the past, Western and Chinese <keyword id="6412373" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="celebrities">celebrities</keyword> across industries have found themselves in hot water for speaking out against the Chinese government.
