Overview
Guyana's remittances received stood at $628.8M in 2025, a rise of +$28.8M from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $628.8M by 2025. Guyana ranked 107th globally.
Guyana’s remittance inflows have risen dramatically from a modest US$2,299,999.95 in 1982 to an all‑time high of US$628,841,154.29 in 2025, ranking it 107th globally. After a low point of US$1,019,999.98 in 1992, the upward trajectory accelerated in the 2000s, reflecting expanding diaspora networks and improved financial channels. The 2025 figure surpasses the recent receipts of peer economies such as New Caledonia (US$621,061,715.84) and New Zealand (US$620,291,357.05), underscoring Guyana’s growing reliance on external transfers for household consumption and investment. While the surge aligns with higher oil‑related earnings that have boosted expatriate earnings abroad, the sustainability of this growth will depend on the diversification of the domestic economy and the stability of migration patterns; any slowdown in overseas employment or tighter remittance regulations could temper the forward momentum.
