In its report, the IMF said that in 2008 a record 6.4 million people who had made at least two remittances made it to third countries via Myanmar, up from 4.6 million in 2007.

The report is based on data from the Myanmar Ministry of Social Welfare, which has a population of around 300 million, and from the World Bank.
