Remittances received

Tier A· OfficialDescriptive

Money sent home by nationals working abroad, as a share of GDP. Descriptive — a large diaspora inflow is neither good nor bad.

100 = highest remittance inflow (% GDP), 0 = lowest — descriptive, not better or worse

Mixed reference years (2000–2024). This metric uses each country's most recent available year, so countries are not all measured in the same year — cross-country comparison is weakened. Each row shows its own reference year.

How this score is built

Personal remittances received as a share of GDP — World Bank indicator BX.TRF.PWKR.DT.GD.ZS. Descriptive: high remittance inflows can support households but also signal emigration of workers — neither better nor worse — so it uses a neutral colour and is kept off the Compare radar. Normalized with min–max; the raw percentage is shown. Most recent year per country.
