Abstract

In 2020, analyses from multilateral institutions predicted that the COVID-19 pandemic would hamper remittance transfers to the Latin America and Caribbean region; yet they showed steady increases in 2020 and 2021. Haiti’s remittance economy has largely maintained its vitality, helping families weather multiple crises. Drawing on data from a study of the impact of COVID-19 on Haitian households and remittance data from Haiti’s Central Bank, this article examines Haiti’s changing remittance landscape, with particular attention paid to new migratory flows to Latin America that have emerged since the January 2010 earthquake. Considering the increase in migration to Brazil and Chile, among other countries, between 2010 and 2020, we ask, what role have remittances from South America played in Haitian households leading up to and during the COVID-19 pandemic?
新冠肺炎疫情与海地不断变化的汇款形势
2020年,多边机构的分析预测,新冠肺炎疫情将阻碍向拉丁美洲和加勒比地区汇款;然而,它们在2020年和2021年显示出稳步增长。海地的汇款经济在很大程度上保持了活力,帮助家庭度过了多重危机。本文利用新冠肺炎对海地家庭影响的研究数据和海地中央银行的汇款数据,审视了海地不断变化的汇款形势,特别关注自2010年1月地震以来出现的新的拉丁美洲移民潮。考虑到2010年至2020年期间移民到巴西和智利等国的人数增加,我们要问,在新冠肺炎大流行之前和期间,南美洲汇款在海地家庭中发挥了什么作用?
