International Day of Family Remittances 2025:
Every year on June 16, the world observes the International Day of Family Remittances (IDFR) to honour the remarkable contributions made by migrant workers who send money back home to support their families. These remittances are not merely financial transactions — they are lifelines for millions and enablers of development for countless communities. In 2025, the theme of the day—“Remittances financing development”—underscores the integral role that remittance flows play in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs).
