Migrants send billions back home
Migrants send at least €8bn a year from the Netherlands to their home countries, according to new research by the Dutch central bank.
The figure does not include transfers made via informal channels such as cash withdrawals from local banks during holidays and via family visits.
Most cash is sent back to Turkey, Morocco, the Antillean islands, Indonesia and Germany, the central bank said.
