How this figure is calculated
Foreign aid received as grants and concessional loans divided by GDP (current US$), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Foreign aid received as grants and concessional loans ÷ GDP (current US$)
Computed from
- Foreign aid received as grants and concessional loans OECD (2026) – with major processing by Our World in Data
- GDP Country official statistics, National Statistical Organizations and/or Central Banks
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.
