Money transfers to Armenia will total 1.1 billion drams in 2006,
forecasts the Central Bank. This forecast is based on the results of
the survey conducted from February to April, which was published on
August 9. The survey suggests that in 2005 the households of Armenia
received 940 billion dollars from abroad. The survey was conducted
to evaluate the transfers and forecast tendencies. And this very
forecast suggests that money transfers in 2006 will total 1.1 billion
drams. The survey was conducted among people who transfer money, and
85 percent said transfers would continue. It is interesting that 28
percent of Armenian respondents in Moscow suggests that 28 percent
will not work in Armenia on any conditions, and 44 percent said they
would work in Armenia only for a salary of 300-1000 dollars.
