How this figure is calculated
Personal remittances, paid (current US$) divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Personal remittances, paid (current US$) ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Personal remittances, paid IMF balance of payments data, International Monetary Fund (IMF)
- 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.
