Nordics: private aid flows 2020

Private aid flows from the Nordic countries fluctuated over the past 20 years. In 2020, the amount from Sweden made up nearly two billion U.S. dollars. Finland's contribution reached nearly 1.3 billion U.S. dollars. Moreover, there are several years when the countries had a negative flow, meaning that repayments were higher than the sum of aid disbursed.

Supplementary notes

The source adds the following information: 'Private flows are defined as financial flows at market terms financed out of private sector resources (changes in holdings of private, long-term assets held by residents of the reporting country) and private grants (grants by non-government organisations, net of subsidies received from the official sector). Private capital flows can be divided into: foreign direct investment; portfolio equity (the buying and selling of stocks and shares); remittances sent home by migrants; and private sector borrowing.'
