How this figure is calculated
Personal remittances and foreign aid received divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Personal remittances and foreign aid received ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Personal remittances and foreign aid received World Bank based on International Monetary Fund balance of payments data (2026) – processed by Our World in Data
- Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)
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.
