Personal remittances, received (current US$)

China ranks first at 30.00B, 68.5% of the group total. Fastest compound growth over the period is Japan at +3.6% per year; the slowest is China at -1.0%. Fitted trend is steepest upward in United States (+3.6%, per year of its own mean level, R² 0.864) and weakest in China (-1.8%, R² 0.05). Largest acceleration — last three years against the three before — is United States at +2.8% percentage points. Concentration is high (HHI 0.524, equivalent to 1.9 evenly sized economies). The largest covered value is 6.3× the smallest. 3 economies covered; latest observation year 2025.

Trend is the ordinary-least-squares fit of value on year, reported with its R² — how much of the movement the straight line explains, as a percentage of the period mean level so economies of different size are comparable. Momentum is the mean change of the last three years minus the mean of the three before it, in percentage points. Half-period shift compares the second half of the window against the first. Volatility is the standard deviation of year-over-year change. Outlier years exceed 2.5 standard deviations from that economy's own average change.

MethodologySeries are pulled from the official source API and null observations dropped. CAGR = (end/start)^(1/years) − 1. Index uses the first year of the range as 100. Trend is an OLS fit of value on year, reported as a percentage of the period mean alongside its R². Volatility = standard deviation of year-over-year percentage change (percentage points). Momentum compares the last three years against the three before. Share = economy value ÷ sum of the covered economies. HHI = sum of squared shares; its reciprocal estimates the number of evenly sized economies. Cross-indicator correlation is Pearson's r on pooled year-over-year changes.
CoverageRequested: 1 indicator(s) × 3 economies × 11 years = 33 cells; published: 33 (100.0%). Sparse indicators are declared in the Data quality section of each indicator.
