Guatemalan remittances up by 15.1% in January but less than pre-crisis

Guatemalan emigrants sent home 15.1 percent more in remittances in January than they did in the same month last year.

The central bank announced that January’s remittances came to $283.3 million.

However, that amount falls short of the $290.2 million of January 2009, let alone the $314.6 million of January 2008.
