The trend followed by these two indicators during 2002-2015 time frame seems too much interesting. Until 2006, immigrants brought home on average four times more remittances than foreign direct investors. After 2006, they not only brought far less monetary value, but after 2010 remittances from emigrants were on average 1.3 times lower than the value of foreign direct investments.<\/p>\n<p>This testifies once again the fact that if during the first eight years remittances helped the economy to develop since they occupied a very important part of GDP, in the last six years this situation changed in favor of FDIs.<sup><br><\/sup>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<b>Comments and Analysis:<\/b> Open Data Albania<br>\n<b>Contribution by: <\/b> Griselda Ruci\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Open Data Albania based on data published by the Bank of Albania is updating the value of remittances and Foreign Direct Investments, FDI, in 2015.
