A Study on Remittances and Investment Opportunities for Egyptian Migrants

This research project aims to shed light on the use of remittances by Egyptian migrants and their potential to foster local investment opportunities, with a particular focus on establishing small and micro-sized enterprises (SMEs). The overall objective of this study is not only to find out how remittances are used by remittance-receiving households, particularly with regard to investment practices, but also to explore the decision-making dynamics in terms of remittance usage at the household level.
