Project Description: Regulatory Framework for Migrants Savings (Armenia)


Regulatory Framework for Migrants Savings and Investment Trust

Country:          Armenia

Time frame:      01 June 2006 – 01 April 2007

Partners:         UN IFAD

The transformation of retained savings into development capital requires changing retained savings in the host country into formal savings, transfers and investments within Armenia. Experience shows that migrant transfers, in parallel with other forms of foreign direct investment, are susceptible to very similar influence of macro-economic conditions, policy, business environment factors and related incentives. This paper provides a practical and result oriented understanding of the macro, micro and regulatory frameworks impacting on the financial intermediation interventions, mechanisms, and incentive models envisaged. With focus provided by the interim results of a parallel family/migrant survey, the research this paper provides recommendations as to the types of interventions to be developed and provide analysis and conclusions as to their respective feasibilities.
