Douglas,
It will help, as invisible flows, i.e.remittances back to the home
economies, will go up considerably, nicely augmenting reserves. India lived
on this tactic for decades - that is why you have doctors and engineers from
India all over, and the Middle East is full of our blue collar workers. This
is a form of export, after all, and not really too different from, say,
tourism. Makes a lot of sense if you do not have jobs at home.
Cheers
Jayanand
