Abstract

The present article adopted the dynamic panel data method to
investigate the effect of the inflow of remittances on financial
inclusion (FI), particularly focusing on high remittance-receiving
developing countries between 2011 and 2018. The current
research found that remittances that foster FI are associated with
better institutional quality. The evidence revealed that the effect
of remittances on FI is conditional upon individuals’ perception of
the institutions. Positive coefficient on the interaction terms indicates
that the impact of remittances on FI can be enhanced in
the recipient countries, if the public trusts the financial institutions.
Hence, the overall results of the current research suggest
that the impact of remittances on FI is conditional on institutions.
On a final note, the policy implications of these findings are thoroughly
evaluated at the end of this article
