Women, Financial Inclusion, and Family Remittances in Guatemala

Family remittances in Latin America and the Caribbean have become a critical source of income for women, serving not just as financial support but as a catalyst for personal economic empowerment. Beyond immediate income, these person-to-person transfers significantly boost recipients’ financial resilience by encouraging savings and asset accumulation.
Join the Inter-American Dialogue on Wednesday, December 11, from 9:15 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. ET for a conversation about women, remittances, and financial inclusion in Guatemala to reflect on issues of prosperity and access to financial services for women. The event is based on a recently published study, “Women, Remittances, and Financial Inclusion in Guatemala,” by the Inter-American Dialogue’s Migration, Remittances, and Development Program.
Speakers: Margaret Myers, Director, Asia and Latin America Program, Inter-American Dialogue, Mileydi Guilarte, Deputy Assistant Administrator, USAID’s Bureau for Latin America and the Caribbean, Betilde Muñoz-Pogossian, Director, Department of Social Inclusion, OAS Secretariat for Access to Rights and Equity, Manuel Orozco, Director, Migration, Remittances, and Development Program, Inter-American Dialogue.
