About this data

Remittances include the wages of workers who live abroad for less than a year and the money migrants send to households at home. For small economies with many people working abroad, they can bring in more than exports or foreign investment.

Only recorded transfers are counted. Money carried by hand or sent through informal channels is missing, so the true flows are larger.
