David khoudour
David Khoudour presented at the 2015 Global Forum on Remittances and Development in Milan, Italy.

Khoudour categorized public policies into migration policies, migration-related development policies, and non-migration sectoral development policies. Sectoral development policies in areas like financial services, agriculture, education, health, and social protection can influence remittance flows and investment by either complementing or substituting for remittances. Coordinating policies across sectors and better integrating migration into development strategies can improve how remittances support development.

It estimates that reducing costs, tapping diaspora savings and bonds, reducing migrant worker fees, and using future remittance flows as collateral could potentially mobilize over $100 billion for development.
