Methodology

Where the money is modelled to come from, 2021

The 2021 bilateral matrix carries no corridor into Yemen. 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 $188.0M out of Yemen across 7 corridors. These are modelled allocations too.
