Net Bilateral Aid Flows from DAC Donors to South Korea

Net bilateral aid flows from DAC donors to South Korea, measured in current US dollars, represent the net disbursements of official development assistance (ODA) and official aid. The dataset includes contributions from 30 DAC members and European Union Institutions, covering flows to a specific advanced developing country. Data is compiled by the World Bank's World Development Indicators team.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in net aid disbursements (current US$) to Korea, Rep. over time to assess donor commitment.
• Compare aid flows from specific DAC donor countries (e.g., United States, Japan, Germany) to a single recipient.
• Model the relationship between net aid flows and other economic indicators for South Korea using the time-series data.

Strengths

• Data covers contributions from 30 official DAC donors and EU institutions.
• Flows are reported as net disbursements, accounting for loan repayments.

Limitations

• Data on official aid flows to Part II countries, including South Korea, ended in 2004, creating a temporal gap.
• Regional and world aggregates include aid not allocated by country, which may obscure specific bilateral relationships.
