The International Finance Flows 2000–2021 Factsheet examines external finance to ODA‑eligible countries over two decades, focusing on 2021. It shows commercial flows, especially long‑term debt, dominate global finance, while ODA remains vital for least‑developed countries and fragile states. Categorizing flows into official, commercial, and private sources, the report compares their significance across regions, income groups, and fragility levels, highlighting both the scale of international finance and the continued reliance of vulnerable countries on aid.
