Armenia recorded a sharp increase in net non-commercial money transfers in January 2026 — by 43.7% year-on-year. This data is provided in a World Bank report, which notes that the dynamics significantly exceeded last year's figure.
The key factor was the increase in receipts from Russia, which accounted for about 52% of the total net inflow — the volume increased by 43%. A significant contribution was also made by transfers from the United States, which provided 38% of the inflow with an increase of 7.6%.
Compared to January 2025, when the increase was 17.3%, the current rates look significantly higher. According to the Central Bank of Armenia, the total net inflow of transfers to individuals reached $49.7 million against $34.6 million a year earlier.
