YEREVAN, May 19. /ARKA/. More than $312.9 million has been received in Armenia through banks over a period between January and March 2017 as private noncommercial transfers, the Central Bank of Armenia reports on its website.

Over $127.1 million came to Armenia in March alone showing an 18.1% year-on-year growth and a 26% month-on-month growth.
