Countries in Latin America with most outgoing remittances, by receiving region 2021

Venezuela, Argentina, Chile, and Brazil accounted for more than half of the total remittance outflow in Latin America in 2021. Remittances from these four countries ranged from 2.4 billion U.S. dollars to 3.6 billion U.S. dollars. Remittances refer to cross-border payments to family or friends and are often associated with migrant workers sending money back home to friends or relatives back in their communities of origin. It is estimated that about one in seven people worldwide are involved with remittances - substantially impacting payment behavior in, especially, Asia and Latin America. Europe's outgoing payment flow largely does not go to these regions but goes towards Central and Eastern Europe.

在2021年，委内瑞拉、阿根廷、智利和巴西四国在拉丁美洲的汇款净流出量占总量的半数以上。这些国家的汇款额介于24亿美元至36亿美元之间。汇款指的是跨境向家人或朋友的支付，通常与移民工人将资金汇回其原籍社区中的亲友有关。据统计，全球大约有七分之一的人口参与汇款活动，这在亚洲和拉丁美洲等地区的支付行为上产生了显著影响。欧洲的支付流出主要并不流向这些地区，而是趋向于中欧和东欧。
