MTI Inauguration Conference CLICK HERE TO REGISTER ”The indicators are that the remittance and money transfer market is holding its own. Even when faced with job losses, remittance senders still have to support their families and will use all their resourcefulness to keep sending money even if in smaller sums. There are regional variations where some areas are less severely hit by the financial crisis than others.”Lady Olga Maitland, CEO, MTI
