How this figure is calculated
Foreign aid received as grants and concessional loans divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Foreign aid received as grants and concessional loans ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- Foreign aid received as grants and concessional loans OECD (2026) – with major processing by Our World in Data
- Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
