I'd like to mention that remittances are great. For a poor country to catch up with a rich country there has to be a technology/skill/money transfer.

Either the rich people are coming to the poor country (export oriented economy) or the poor people are coming to the rich country (remittance oriented economy).

If your economy is suffering from high inflation then remittances are a balancing force that is fighting against high inflation because people abroad are exchanging their USD/EUR for the inflating currency and thereby support attempts to peg the inflating currency to USD/EUR which are currencies with low inflation.
