1 Global Forum on Remittances, Investment and Development Asia-Pacific 2018 The road to the 8-10 May 2018 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia In collaboration with
2 The global context On 8-10 May 2018, Bank Negara Malaysia (the Central Bank of Malaysia), in collaboration with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the World Bank Group, will host the first country-led regional Global Forum on Remittances, Investment and Development (GFRID), focused on the remittance and investment landscape in Asia-Pacific. One billion people over 200 million migrant workers supporting an estimated 800 million family members are directly impacted by remittances. These flows are crucial for migrant families, allowing them to secure food, education, health, but also income-generating activities, particularly in rural areas where they count the most. In 2016 alone, migrant workers sent over US$429 billion in remittances to their families in developing countries. To harness the power of this money for development, the international community needs to acknowledge the crucial role played by migrant workers and find ways to support them. The Forum comes at a very timely moment as it will actively contribute to the current preparatory processes leading up to the adoption of a Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration in The last GFRID, held in New York in June 2017, confirmed its relevance not only to the Global Compact process, but also showcased the crucial role of remittances and migrant investments to the guidance and achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as well as the Addis Ababa Action Agenda. To further support these global endeavours, this countryled regional GFRID will see the participation of major representatives from public and private sectors, as well as the civil society, involved in remittances and investments in Asia-Pacific. The Forum will explore innovative ways to contribute to such global processes, while highlighting regional specificities, opportunities and challenges. The Global Compact process is one of the key outcomes of the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants, adopted in September 2016 by the United Nations General Assembly. In this Declaration, all Member States of the United Nations recognized the need for a comprehensive approach to human mobility and enhanced cooperation at the global level. The Global Compact is being developed through an open, transparent and inclusive process of consultations and negotiations calling for the participation of all relevant stakeholders including the civil society, the private sector, academic institutions, governments, diaspora communities, and migrant organizations.

3 The GFRID 2018 Since its inception over ten years ago, the Global Forum on Remittances, Investment and Development (GFRID) has served as a platform to raise awareness, facilitate dialogue and promote collaboration on the contribution of migrant remittances to development. By bringing together Member States, international organizations, private sector and civil society, the Forum allows stakeholders to showcase good practices and build partnerships to leverage the role of remittances in countries and communities of origin towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The GFRID 2018 Asia-Pacific will build on recommendations made during the GFRID 2017 in New York, and will highlight the latest findings and linkages between remittances and development in Asia-Pacific, particularly in the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the SDGs and the process towards the adoption of the Global Compact for Migration. Bank Negara Malaysia will host the GFRID 2018, in collaboration with IFAD and the World Bank Group. Organizing partners include: AFI Alliance for Financial Inclusion GSMA Mobile for Development IAMTN International Association of Money Transfer Networks IMTC International Money Transfer Conferences MAMSB Malaysia Association of Money Service Business WSBI World Savings and Retail Banking Institute Main objectives The GFRID 2018 intends to: scale-up the debate initiated during the Global Forum on Remittances, held in Bangkok in 2013, of exploring the recent developments and discuss the latest challenges, opportunities and concrete innovations from the previous Forum, in light of the Global Compact for Migration; update the stakeholders on findings and realities from recent initiatives in the region; further engage the public sector and regulators in creating an enabling environment to boost the development impact of remittances, and bridging the private and public sectors as well as the civil society; create a collaborative platform on remittances to provide solutions to existing challenges and share Malaysia s experiences particularly in terms of regulation and supervision of the remittance industry; and identify adapted and scalable models of intervention and partners to implement future operations, particularly in the fields of (i) rural finance and financial inclusion, and (ii) financing agriculture through diaspora investment. Specific objectives The Forum aims to: highlight the contribution of migrant remittances and diaspora investment in Asia-Pacific to achieve the SDGs and their targets; share good practices to leverage remittances for development in the Asia-Pacific marketplace, including through public-private partnerships; identify measures to reduce the cost of remittances, through market competition, innovative business models and the use of modern technologies; assess regulatory barriers and other constraints to lower remittance costs, promote diaspora investment and facilitate financial inclusion; explore innovative financing solutions to unlock migrant investments; highlight sustainable and innovative business models that expand current remittance markets and create synergies with other financial markets and products; promote national development strategies that allow for scaling up successful business models and strategies involving migrant and diaspora contributions; and provide concrete, actionable recommendations to leverage the potential of diaspora investment and migrant remittances towards the adoption of a Global Compact for Migration in Outcomes The GFRID 2018 Asia-Pacific would prompt the creation of a multi-stakeholder platform on remittances, investment and development, to build regional ownership, and to provide continuity to the previous achievements, with the ultimate goal of feeding the dialogue on remittances, investment and development from a regional perspective and upscale the past successful initiatives. Broadly, the GFRID 2018 Asia-Pacific will have a future legacy and meaningful follow-up actions culminated and documented in a list of Forum recommendations for ease of reference. The Forum will be replicated in other regions, whereby a GFRID with a regional focus will be organized every two years with the support of a local host. 3
4 Provisional agenda Private Sector Day 8 May Sasana Kijang, Kuala Lumpur Day 1 will focus on the role of the private sector in contributing, through remittances and investment, to achieve the SDGs, in particular on opportunities and challenges that need to be overcome for its sustainable growth. The opportunities, particularly in Asia-Pacific, are the sheer size of the remittance market, its leverage for financial inclusion, the application of new technologies and the focus and commitment of the public sector. However, there are many challenges to be overcome, including: derisking, and how to remain profitable. Using a mixture of information sessions, panel discussions and case studies, Day 1 will cover key issues faced by the private sector, to provide an opportunity to describe its future vision and present reality. In particular, it will establish a strong basis for discussion with other stakeholders. This Day s outcomes will set the scene for the following days. The Private Sector Day will culminate with the RemTECH Awards 2018 Asia-Pacific which will recognize some of the key innovations that are contributing to the advancement of remittances in Asia-Pacific. A Remittances Marketplace will follow thereafter. Public Sector Day 9 May Sasana Kijang, Kuala Lumpur The introduction of SDG 10.c in 2015 has brought a renewed focus on how to leverage remittances for development. The Public Sector Day will build on the learnings from Day 1 and incorporate them into some of the vital initiatives that are currently taking place. Whilst a remittance, at its simplest, is a person-to-person money transfer, the development agenda recognizes that it presents opportunities to deliver so much more, especially through the potential contribution to financial inclusion and diaspora investment. Using a variety of parallel and plenary sessions, the Public Sector Day will examine how to harness remittances for financial inclusion and how to achieve meaningful diaspora investment. It will also look at how to create successful public-private-partnerships and provide an update on the Global Compact for Migration. Day 2 will conclude by bringing together the themes of the first two days and outlining the Asia-Pacific action agenda for the following two years. Side Events Day 10 May Sasana Kijang, Kuala Lumpur Following two full days of plenary and panel sessions, Day 3 will enable participants to explore key themes in significantly greater detail. The morning will feature four parallel sessions examining key topics and sub-regions that have arisen in workshops. In the afternoon, the organizers, partners and other selected entities will be hosting a series of meetings and side events with agencies and government representatives. These sessions will be by invitation only. Participants will be able to share their expertise in their own areas, learn about an area that is new to them and provide examples of successes in other regions which have similar circumstances to the areas of focus. Overall Day 3 will provide the opportunity for all delegates to begin to put into practice their learnings from the first two days and to gain in-depth insights into a theme and region that is important and relevant to them. 4
5 The Forum format Plenaries are aimed at presenting the topic and sharing best practices and lessons learned. Parallel discussions will provide opportunities for participants to share their expertise and experiences, create synergies and strengthen partnerships. Networking over coffee will start with thematic presentations, followed by an audience discussion to allow interaction among participants. Marketplace cocktail On 8 May selected private sector entities, both global and from Asia-Pacific, will showcase their latest products and innovations in a networking cocktail, open to all Forum participants.
