Transfer fees for money sent home by international migrants were nearly as high as US foreign aid in 2023
A bar chart comparing two financial figures from 2023. On the left, a blue bar labeled "Global transaction costs for money sent home by international migrants" measures $51 billion. On the right, a taller teal bar labeled "Foreign aid from the United States" measures $66 billion. The chart title indicates that global migrant transfer fees nearly matched total U.S. foreign aid in 2023. The data source information notes the OECD from 2024 and the World Bank from 2025, and it explains that "foreign aid" refers to net official development assistance.
