Saw this the other day and wondered if Jamaican.com is responsible

Jamaica continues to record increased remittance inflows.
According to Bank of Jamaica data, in September net remittances were US$159.5m, an increase of US$14.7m or 10% relative to the corresponding period in 2013.
This reflected an increase in gross remittance, which was partially offset by an expansion in remittance outflows.
Gross remittance inflows for the month were US$182m, an increase of US$18.7m or 11% relative to September 2013.
The inflows were above the average of US$160.8m for the previous five corresponding periods.
Net remittances for January to September 2014 were US$1.4b which represented a growth of US$82.4m or 6 relative to the corresponding period of 2013.
Inflows were also above the corresponding pre-crisis out-turn for 2008.
The out-turn for the review period reflected an increase in gross inflows supported by a reduction in outflows
