According to the BOJ data, there are only 7 other periods when inflows exceeded US$312 million garnered in June. In March 2021, US$328 million in inflows was achieved, with March 2026 delivering US$319 million and July 2022 when inflows totaled US$324 million, the other times were all in December, with December 2021 generating US$322 million, 2022 US$326 million, followed by December 2023 with US$314 million and 2025 US$335 million.
Remittance inflows to Jamaica climbed 4.2 percent to an all-time record high of US$1.78 billion, for 2026 to June, up US$71 million from US$1.71 billion for the same period last year. This year to date increase, puts to the annual outturn at around US$3.6 billion for 2026 and would be the highest on record, beating the long standing record in 2021 inflows of US$3.497 billion.
Remittance inflows for January to April 2026 continued the positive monthly trend since November last year. Flows to Jamaica amounted to a record US$1.1536 billion, 3.2 percent over the corresponding period in 2025, with earnings of US$1,118 billion. 
Inflows climbed of 4.1 per cent to US$856 million or an increase of $33.5 million for January to March period this year, over the corresponding period of 2025 that enjoyed inflows of US$822.5 million.
In 2025 total inflows to the country rose by 3.84 percent to US$3.486 sit just under the record haul of US$3.497 billion in 2021. This year’s increase is lower than the 5.7 percent rise for January last year, 5.6 percent in May, 14.3 percent in November and 12.1 percent in December of 2025.
Last year’s intake is the second highest on record and bettered the 2022 intake of US$3.44 billion. 
The 2025 increase is just above the average of US$631 million from 2021 to 2025, but less than the 2024 increase of $836 million, and 2023, with net inflows of US$770 million.
This year’s inflows are the second best on record, just $19 million below the record of US$2.695 billion garnered in the first nine months of 2021. The trend for the year to date suggests that total flows for the year may end around US$40 less than the record US$3.497 billion in 2021. Inflows could increase above the levels for 2025 to date following the passage of Hurricane Melissa, as Jamaicans overseas increase their contributions to Jamaicans hit by the hurricane.
For the eight months ending August 2025, total remittance inflows to Jamaica amount to US$2.302 billion, an increase of 2.8 percent compared to inflows for January to August last year of US$2.239 billion. The total inflows for this year are marginally ahead of the record haul of 2021, with US$2.3 billion in inflows up to August 2021.
Aside from the record take for 2021, the year-to-date inflows exceed all previous years’ figures. Gross inflows for July 2025 dropped by US$21 million compared with July 2021. For the seven months to July this year, inflows are down US$17 million from the 2021 seven-month period. To exceed the record 2021 intake of US$3.497 billion, it will require growth of just under 5 percent for the last 5 months of this year. Regardless, the 2025 numbers appear on track to at least come close to the record haul in 2021 to be either the best year or the second-best.
