Money transfers from abroad in favor of individuals (resident and nonresident) represent amounts of money remitted in the country through the national banking system, including international money transfer systems. Amounts are converted from the original transfer currency into US dollars at the official exchange rate of the NBM on the transfer date. It should be noted that the origin as well as the purpose of these amounts can be varied. They may consist not only of the amounts transferred by Moldovan migrants, but also of other foreign exchange transfers.
