Refresh
This series has no endpoint reachable from the page, so the figure shows the value as of the last build. It is not labelled live and the timestamp is the build timestamp. Cadence: annual.
Treated as stale after 730 days (about 2 years) without a new observation. Past that point the figure keeps the last verified number and carries a badge; it does not hide it and does not substitute an estimate.
Scope
It captures recorded transfers through formal channels only: it excludes hand-carried cash and informal value transfer, excludes stablecoin and other digital-asset transfers that no institution reports as a personal transfer, and is gross of the fees paid to send. The compiler last revised the series on 13 July 2026.
Observations
Every observation held for this series, in the order the source published them, exactly as published by World Bank.
