The money sent home by Romanians working abroad will add up to a record sum in 2007 - some five billion euros, officials of the Central Bank (BNR) said on Thursday. The prognosis for this year indicates an income one billion larger, compared to 2006.

The BNR officials say that the immigrants sent home some 2 billion euros only during the first five months of the year.

Compared to the previous years, Romanian in Europe quit sending home money via transport companies and now choose specialized financial companies.
