Tables 27 and 28 above report the officially recorded remittances. The true size of remittances, including unrecorded flows through formal and informal channels, is believed to be larger. For comparison, Table 29 below shows the amount of remittances as registered by the Central Bank of Russia (CBR). The CBR records the remittances of physical persons as performed by selected (most important) money transfer systems 32 and the Postal Service of Russia. 31 World Bank, Development Prospects Group (2007) Migration and Remittances Factbook. 32 Including 16 international payment systems (Western Union, MoneyGram, and others).

Remittances to Russia grew slower at a rate of 25 per cent from 2005 to 2006 in comparison to 68 per cent in 2004. Comparing the figures of the World Bank and the Russian Central Bank on the total amounts of registered remittances into and out of Russia in 2006 (the only year shown in the CBR data), the World Bank totals are much larger, perhaps due to the different methodology used. As to the bilateral data on the total amounts of remittance flows between Russia and individual countries, the CBR figures from 2006 are, however, close to those presented by the World Bank. 33 The bilateral remittance figures of the World Bank are actually estimates calculated by the World Bank and the University of Sussex Development Research Centre, using migrant stocks and incomes both in the countries of destination and origin of the migrants. Thus, according to such calculations published by the Development Prospects Group of the World Bank,34 the most important remittance-sending coun- 33 These data are estimated using assumptions and arguments as explained in Ratha and Shaw (2006), South- South Migration and Remittances, Development Prospects Group, World Bank. http://www.worldbank.org/ prospects/migrationandremittances. 34 Ibid Migration in the Russian Federation: A Country Profile 2008
