Residents of Kingston and St Andrew received most of the growth in remittances since Hurricane Melissa, rather than the parishes the storm hit hardest. Jamaicans abroad sent home US$1.85 billion through remittance companies in the seven months after the storm, from November 2025 to May 2026, up 7.7 per cent, according to the latest parish-level data published by the Bank of Jamaica. That works out to US$132.5 million more than they sent in the same seven months a year earlier.
