The early 1980s experienced a peak of remittances, as the number was at about $3 billion per year at that time. Though it decreased to about $2 billion per year or less during the 1990s, the year 2002 saw a marked increase in remittances.

Money will always be inadequate. There will always be times when we have no choice but to seek out additional funds either because there is not much in our savings accounts or because a situation calls for an immediate source of money. The desire to satisfy both his needs and his wants and the scarce nature of economic resources has been the two main reasons why money, for a lot of people, is always not enough.This demand for money led to the rise of the financial sector. Composed mainly of banks and non-banking institutions, the financial sector aims to answer the growing demand for money. The money that is being demanded range from small, simple and short-term loans that individuals seek out in order to fill in momentary financial gaps to huge, complex and long-term corporate loans that businesses use for their expansion or to sustain their operations.The growth of the financial sector has been very steady. With economic activities expanding and the number of peoples needs and wants rapidly increase as time progresses, financial institutions also adjust to the new situation. They do so but offering new products and services that would cater to the varying requirements of would-be...more

From 1991 to approximately 2008, it appears that the rate of growth of remittances to Vietnam was significant. It seemed to grow by about 40 percent per year since 1991, far surpassing the growth of many of the main industries in the country. This means that if you planned to send money to Vietnam at the time, you definitely were not alone. It also explains why methods became more available to transfer money to the area since 1991, although improved technology likely also played a role.Unfortunately, the economy has had an effect on the number of people who send money to Vietnam. Perhaps it is due to the lack of jobs, and thus lack of extra money to send to family, but it has affected Vietnam's economy, as well. In 2005, about $3 billion was sent to the nation. In 2007, it increased to nearly $7 billion. That was considered more than ten percent of the nation's GDP. Since then, however, Vietnamese immigrants in the United States likely have less money to send home, which is not unusual at this point.Despite lower remittance rates, you can still send money to Vietnam using a number of methods. You can use the traditional route of the bank, either the one you regularly use or one...more
