Notes

The ODA:GNI ratio as the FCDO's Chart table C1 gives it, by the method in use in each year, so years measured differently stand side by side: since 2018 aid has been counted as grant equivalents rather than cash flows. The page shows two decimal places; the download keeps the FCDO's full figure.
