The sum sent by Romanians is close to the one sent by German and British immigrants, which will reach $7 billion each.
In 2007, India, Mexico and China will be the countries that receive the most money from citizens working abroad. Thus, India will receive some $27 billion, ranking first in the World Bank chart, followed by China, with some $25.7 billion and Mexico, with $25 billion.
The top ten positions also include states with a high level of income, such as France, Spain and Great Britain.
On a world level, immigrants will send back some $318 billion, including some $240 billion that will reach developing countries.
World Bank estimations regarding the total value of sums sent by Romanian workers in this year, of $6.8 billion, are lower than those of Romanian central bank officials, of EUR6.3-6.4 billion ($9.2-9.3).
