  ABSTRACT: Remittance inflows have emerged as a significant source of external finance for developing economies, particularly in North Africa. As globalization accelerates labor mobility, remittances play an increasingly critical role in shaping macroeconomic dynamics, from GDP growth to labor market structures. This paper examines how remittances impact economic stability in Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria, analyzing five key macroeconomic dimensions: GDP growth, exchange rates, balance of payments, inflation, and labor market participation. These dimensions are selected based on their prominence in both theoretical literature and policy relevance across remittance-receiving countries. The study also evaluates national policies aimed at maximizing the developmental impact of remittance flows. The remainder of this paper is organized as follows: Section 1 reviews the literature, Section 2 describes the methodology, Section 3 presents the empirical analysis, Section 4 discusses policy implications, and Section 5 concludes.
