This is stated in the RBC material with reference to data from the central banks of these countries.
At the end of last year, $7.7 billion was sent to these countries. A decrease in the volume of transfers was recorded for the first time in the second quarter of 2023. However, the statistics do not take into account data on transfers to Armenia and Kyrgyzstan in December, since the regulators of these countries have not yet published information for this month.
It is also reported that the money was mainly received through the Zolotaya Korona, Unistream and Contact systems.
Earlier, the Central Bank announced that Russia had launched SBP transfers to five countries.
