Migrants from low- and middle-income countries sent home $466bn in 2017.

2017年，来自中低收入国家的移民向母国汇款4660亿美元。

Migrants from low-and middle-income countries sent home $466bn in 2017, an increase of 8.5% on the year before. That followed two consecutive years of decline.

去年，经过连续两年的下滑后，来自中低收入国家的移民向母国的汇款再次回升，达4660亿美元，较2016年增长8.5％。

Remittance inflows increased in all regions last year; the same is expected in 2018, albeit at a slower pace.

去年世界所有地区接收汇款的数额都出现增长，预计2018年仍将如此只不过增速会变慢。

The rebound has been driven partly by faster global growth, and partly by better employment prospects for migrants in oil-exporting economies.

这次的反弹一定程度上是因为全球经济增长加速，另一个原因是移民在石油出口国就业前景的改善。

Remittances are now worth more than three times the value of official development assistance, which came to $159bn last year. 

如今移民汇款的数额相当于官方发展援助金额的三倍以上，去年官方发展援助金额为1590亿美元。

India remains the top recipient in dollar terms; inflows totalled $69bn. As a share of GDP, Kyrgyzstan comes top: remittances were a staggering 35% of output in 2017.

以美元计算，印度仍是最大接收国，汇款流入总额为690亿美元。从占GDP的比例来看，则是吉尔吉斯斯坦居首:去年移民汇款占该国产出的比例高达35％。
