Methodology
Where the money is modelled to come from, 2021
The 2021 bilateral matrix carries no corridor into Syria. It covers 175 receiving economies of the 201 in the flows series, and this is not one of them.
Modelled outward corridors, 2021
The same matrix sends $508.2M out of Syria across 5 corridors. These are modelled allocations too.
| Destination | Modelled value |
|---|---|
| Palestine | $461.6M |
| Iraq | $46.0M |
| Somalia | $439K |
| Sudan | $81K |
| Afghanistan | $32K |
