DAVID CRAWFORD
What new trends are you experiencing in the global migration industry?
On the demand side, I see an increasing and large appetite for people seeking a new country to offer themselves and their families a safe and prosperous home. The existing geo-political pressures combined with considerable wealth accumulation by younger and older people means that the demand is likely to increase. The challenge is that the supply side of passive investment options, if anything, is shrinking, but there will likely be an increase in solutions related to entrepreneurial activity. But it would be wrong to assume that one visa pathway is the only solution. This is a dynamic time in policy making and our role is to help people find solutions that meet their circumstances and needs.
NADINE GOLDFOOT
What new trends are you experiencing in the global migration industry?
As the instability and uncertainty of the world around us continues, the demand for RCBI solutions increases. However, the industry is at a crossroads with scrutiny and pressure from intragovernmental organizations, such as the EU, which are questioning the efficacy of programs. Governments who want to sustain or develop RCBI routes are going to have to consider alternative models deviating away from passive investment, to more active routes focusing on innovation and job creation. Digital nomad solutions may also play a valuable role here. Equally, critics of RCBI will need to be encouraged to see that genuine links can be achieved through sharing skills, talent and experience, and they don’t exclusively require physical presence.
