This paper aims to analyze the impact of MRA’s remittances on economic growth by using two models VAR and ECM over the period 1975-2014. The results conclude that MRA’s remittances represent a determinant of economic growth, in the short term, with an elasticity low compared to the long-term behavior. Given the impulse responses analysis, a shock on MRA’s transfers has a positive impact on GDP, investment and consumption.
