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.
