1960-2023 data on net bilateral aid flows from Development Assistance Committee (DAC) donors to Greece, measured in current US dollars. The dataset tracks net disbursements of official development assistance and official aid, defined as grants and concessional loans minus principal repayments. It is compiled by the World Bank's World Development Indicators from reports by DAC member countries and institutions.
Use Cases
- Analyzing trends in total net aid received by Greece from all DAC donors over time using the annual time-series values.
- Comparing aid contributions from specific DAC member countries like France, Germany, or the United States to Greece.
- Studying the impact of policy changes, such as the 2005 abolition of the DAC Part II recipient list, on aid flows captured in the data.
Strengths
- Data spans over 60 years, providing a long-term historical view of aid flows.
- Uses a standardized DAC methodology for calculating net disbursements in current US dollars, ensuring cross-country comparability.
Limitations
- Data on official aid flows to Part II countries, which included Greece, was discontinued after 2004, creating a break in series continuity.
- Aggregate totals include aid not allocated by specific country or region, which may reduce precision for country-specific analysis.
