About This Dataset

Countries That Depend Most on Money Sent Home 2025
Countries ranked by remittances received (% of GDP) in 2025, using World Bank figures for the 94 countries that reported that year. Tajikistan leads on 57.66, ahead of Honduras (30.12) and El Salvador (27.51). Money sent home by workers abroad, measured against the size of the receiving economy. Only transfers through recorded channels are counted, so the true flow into cash economies is higher.
Analysis

Tajikistan (57.66), Honduras (30.12) and El Salvador (27.51) take the top three. Across the twenty shown, values run from 57.66 down to 7.84, a spread of 49.82. Most of that spread sits between first and second alone (27.54 of 49.82), so Tajikistan stands apart from the rest of the table. 2 of the 20 reach half the leading figure, 28.83 or more. The chart shows the twenty highest of 94 reporting countries, so it describes the top of the distribution rather than the world average.
