Financial Intermediation of Remittances around the World and Lessons for Bangladesh
Abstract Migrants’ remittance plays a significant role in the economic development of developing countries. Remittances received from migrants is one of the greatest source of external finance for many low/middle income countries and it ensures the foreign currency reserve for those countries. All the countries in the world are somehow involved in the migration process. Some of the countries are labor sending countries, some are receiving, or both and many others as transit countries. Financial intermediation process through remittances offers multiple benefits to both the senders and recipients. The intersection between remittances and financial intermediation can ensure the better economic development of Bangladesh. However, the full developmental potential of remittances in Bangladesh is far from being realized. The main reason is that most of the financial institutions in Bangladesh yet to develop a good number of remittance based products to tap the remittances into financial system. Therefore, this paper intends to identify remittance based products around the world and take it into the account for developing some products in Bangladesh. The study mainly based on the secondary data and information. The findings of the study revealed that several countries in the world have developed different remittance linked products and services for tapping remittances into financial system and they are getting significant benefits from them. From the international experiences this paper provides some suggestions to develop such products in Bangladesh for adopting new opportunities.
NOTES FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
The Global Financial Crisis: Daunting Tasks Ahead The global financial and economic crisis started in 2007 as an aftermath of the housing sector bubble coupled with aggressive lending practices in the US sub-prime mortgage market and lax regulation of the financial sector. To start with, these developments affected the companies holding mortgage-backed securities and credit derivatives. The early signs of the crisis were evident in 2007; but the financial crisis developed into a full blown global recession in late 2008 battered by continuous deepening and widening of the crisis. The recession created shockwaves though the global financial system and the global economy, and the advanced economies were affected most. The governments in these countries are bracing their financial sector and the real economy by stepping up various policy measures including injecting huge sums of money for bailing out the ailing financial institutions and other industries. What is worst is that the recession appears to hang on throughout 2014.
Mathematical Exploration of B2C Electronic Commerce architecture via Back propagation Network Learning Algorithm
Abstract The present study assesses the technique of back propagation neural networks to appraise the average response time of a B2C Electronic Commerce architecture. In order to delineate the response time, diverse array of user requests were engaged per unit time. Furthermore, engagement of Back Propagation Network Learning (BPNL) algorithm is used to summarize the average response time and augment the enactment of the system. The comprehensive study does the comparative investigation to express the average response time for ANN enabled and without-ANN-enabled algorithm. The objective was to plaid whether ANN enabled algorithm had any bearing on the overall performance of the system. For BPNL algorithm, learning of the responses for the user requests were steered for 7 repetitions and then thorough phases were accomplished to assess the response time. After each iteration, error rates were dogged and then feed forward and back propagation algorithm were used to improve the performance. The experimentation will find its prominence in imminent B2C Electronic Commerce system project and employment and will convey the outline for such investigation. Finally, the study expands the meticulous inferences of the study.
