Notes:
n1/ In 2016 and 2019, "Other countries" for immigrant section includes colombians.
n2/ In 2008, unlike another years, mode was used and not the mean for calculating the cash remittance (USD each month). In 2019, occational remittance was used, it was not asked before.
n3/ In the years without figures the survey was not carried out.
