26. 斯蒂格利茨先生(哥伦比亚大学教授)说，发展中国家不仅受到侨汇减少的影响，而且还受到出口和商品价格下降的影响。应解决金融部门对侨汇收取费用的问题，私营部门的侨汇手续费约占 15%；鉴于现有的技术，这种汇款应该几乎免费。货币基金组织和捐助国可以通过投资发展更环保、更具包容性和更加知识型的社会及创造就业机会来提供帮助。某些绿色支出领域，如安装太阳能电池板，是劳动密集型行业，可能会创造新的就业机会，从而吸收一些返回的劳动力。
26. Mr. Stiglitz (Professor, Columbia University) said that developing countries were being affected not only by diminishing remittances, but also by falling exports and commodity prices. The issue of financial sector charges on the transmission of remittances, which in the private sector amounted to around 15 per cent and, given the available technology, ought to be nearly free of charge, should be addressed. IMF and donor countries could assist by investing in greener, more inclusive and more knowledge-based societies and job creation. Certain areas of green spending, such as the installation of solar panels, were labour intensive and could generate new jobs, thereby absorbing some of the returning labour force.
