Foreign Remittance: Indian Expats Sent Home 53 Billion USDs In 2010

We spotted this today:

"India gets a lot of money from remittances abroad mostly from expats who transfer money for families back home. How much, really, is it?

More than $53 Billion dollars was sent home last year (2010). The money helps fund our trade deficit (we import more than we export)"
