Kerala's Foreign Remittances Surpass Rs 75,000 Crore Amid Currency and Festive Factors
Kerala has seen foreign remittances exceed Rs 75,000 crore in 2013, marking a significant year-on-year increase driven by a weak rupee and festive demand. Non-resident Keralites contribute substantially to the state's economy, accounting for over a third of its GDP. The state government, led by Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, highlights policy efforts to attract investment across sectors. Remittance inflows have surged due to currency fluctuations and increased transactions during festivals, supporting Kerala's economic growth and investment climate.
