The main objective of this paper is to analyze the stability and significance of the remittances flows and the Official Development Assistance taking into account the current global economic crisis. The prime research question of the paper is to determine which of these financial flows are more significant and stable with respect to flows into developing economies. This paper provides a discussion based on the analysis of both empirical and scientific sources, as well as theoretical approaches to the issue of development interventions and the empirical model based on panel data.
