YEREVAN, March 18. \/ARKA\/. Armenian labor migrants in Russia have started bringing more cash than before, the head of the Central Bank Martin Galstyan said today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“As for the remittances from Russia to Armenia, our early surveys showed that 80% were transferred through banks,” Galstyan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to him, since there were problems with money transfers in Russia due to sanctions, (slept on it by the West), the share of cash has increased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, the head of the regulator noted that, in general, fewer people started to go abroad for work finding instead work in Armenia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that part of the surveyed labor migrants are not sure whether they are going to travel to Russia for seasonal work this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We assume they will stay in Armenia and work here,” Galstyan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to a report by the Central Bank, the net inflow of cross-border money transfers in Armenia through the banks amounted to $18.7 million in January 2025, compared to $32.8 million in January 2024. -0-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
