The largest amount of transfers came in March, when it amounted to $132.5 million.
The structure of currencies is dominated by transfers in euros, which account for 81%, and in US dollars – 18.7%. There were still no transfers in Russian rubles.
The National Bank of Moldova noted that the amounts of money transfers from abroad in favor of individuals are converted from the original currency of transfer into US dollars at the official exchange rate of the NBM on the date of transfer. Both the origin and destination of these amounts may be of different nature. Thus, besides remittances of Moldovan migrants, they include other remittances: salary transfers to resident individuals from representative offices of non-residents (international financial institutions, international organizations, foreign economic agents) in Moldova, transfers in favor of foreign citizens temporarily staying here, social pensions, allowances, alimony.
The data of the National Bank do not include payments through financial institutions of the Transnistrian region.
