Polish emigrants send €4 bln back

The Department of Migration Policy at the Ministry of the Interior has calculated how much money Polish emigrants send back to Poland. It turns out that Poles transfer €4 billion back to their home land, according to a PAP report. The data strictly concerns bank transfers. Transfers in cash and consumer products are not taken into account. Currently, over 2 million Poles are living in other EU states. The article continues on saying that Germany and Italy tend to be favorite countries of new emigrants, while the amount of Poles moving for work to Belgium and the Netherlands has decreased.
