Personal remittance receipts of $650.4M in 2020, 8.69% of GDP, from 47 annual observations starting in 1974. The series carries no observation for Togo after 2020, while 160 countries report through 2024, so this country is absent from the 2024 ranking.

Methodology

Where the money is modelled to come from, 2021

The corridor matrix is a model, not a measurement

The 10,229 corridors in this matrix (212 sending economies, 175 receiving) are not observed payments. The World Bank builds it by allocating each country’s total recorded receipts across origins using bilateral migrant stocks and origin-destination incomes. A corridor value is therefore an estimate produced by that allocation rule. The matrix exists for one year, 2021, and no other.

The matrix routes $674.0M into Togo for 2021, from 49 origin countries. The five largest account for 76.0% of that total.
