Using Commoditized Revenue Flows to Leverage Access to International Finance: With a Special Focus on Migrant Remittances and Payment Flows

This paper focuses on the most recent forms of future flow finance, which are structured on the back of two commoditized revenue streams that have only been identified over the past ten years as providing the potential for underpinning hard currency credits: migrant remittances and trade payment flows. Deals structured around these flows have only been struck in a handful of countries, even though in principle, possibilities exist in most developing countries.
