will this boost our economy in any way or its just another cry for help by our politictians?

Finance Minister Goodal Gondwe says government is worried with the low level of remittance of funds from Malawians living in diaspora despite their ever increasing numbers.
Gondwe said this in response to a question from economic consultant Fred Kanjo on how much Malawi is getting from the diaspora during a pre-budget meeting in Blantyre last week.
Malawi boasts of having a fairly large number of people in first world countries like the United States of America (USA), United Kingdom (UK) and other European countries.
Kanjo argued that remittances from the diaspora have helped other economies like Israel to be in good shape. He said Malawi stands to benefit more from its citizens abroad.
“Remittance of funds by nationals has [also] helped to sustain weak and fragile economies in Africa and elsewhere and we need to encourage Malawians living in diaspora to follow suit,” he said.
Gondwe said there is need for the country to get organised and put in place mechanisms that will help to get these funds attracted or risk losing out.
President Bingu wa Mutharika last November—during a meeting with Malawians living in Scotland—announced plans to liberalise the forex system in the country to allow Malawians living abroad open foreign currency denominated accounts to attract more forex.
