Poland's share of money transfers to Ukraine declines as other donors rise

According to the Polish Economic Institute, Poland's proportion of money sent to Ukraine has been shrinking, while the United States, United Kingdom and Czech Republic have taken on greater shares of the total remittances. The overall volume of cash sent to Ukraine has also declined from the prior year. The institute notes that Ukrainian migration is evolving: short-term, seasonal and border-area work now makes up a smaller share of the migrant population, and more Ukrainians are establishing long-term residence abroad, often with families.

This demographic shift means a larger part of migrants' earnings stays in their host countries, reducing the importance of geographic proximity. The decreasing flow of remittances may influence future return intentions among Ukrainians, though such transfers still support household consumption in Ukraine.
