During the fiscal year of 2022, our research team conducted interviews with micro finance institutions (MFIs) and surveys of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia between July and September. Additionally, we continued our work on a paper investigating the impact of workers' remittances channeled through MFIs on poverty reduction, which has since been completed. Furthermore, we extended and updated our research to examine the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the relationship between remittances and resilience, resulting in a survey-based paper that has been accepted for presentation at the 98th annual conference of the Western Economic Association (WEAI) from July 1-6, 2023 in San Diego, California, USA.

于2022财政年度，我们的研究团队于7月至9月期间对印尼的微型金融机构（MFI）进行了访谈，并对中小型企业（SME）进行了调查。此外，我们继续编写一份文件，调查通过小额供资机构提供的工人汇款对减贫的影响，该文件现已完成。此外，我们扩展并更新了我们的研究，以研究COVID-19大流行对汇款与复原力之间关系的影响，从而形成了一份基于调查的论文，该论文已被接受，将于2023年7月1日至6日在美国加州圣地亚哥举行的第98届西部经济协会（WEAI）年会上发表。
