Mercado magazine highlights that the country has received at least US$3.26 billion in remittances from family members living abroad in 2013. The number is expected to be larger when other sources are added. In 2012, the Central Bank registered US$3.16 billion in remittances, but the total was later adjusted to US$4.0 billion. Over half of the money received came to residents in Santo Domingo, Santiago and La Vega. And 65% of the money comes from the United States, followed by Spain with 12.5% and Puerto Rico with 3.3%.
