      Solution

      India has the largest emigrant population and is the top remittance recipient country with remittances anticipated to reach a milestone of USD 100 billion in 2022 according to the World Bank. Hence, statement 1 is correct and statement 3 is incorrect. Remittances are the second largest major source of external financing after service export, which contributes to narrowing the CAD (Current Account Deficit) and has always been a stable constituent of the BoP (Balance of Payments). Hence, statement 2 is not correct.
