This indicator measures the net amount of concessional financial resources received by borrowers, calculated as the total disbursements of loans and credits minus the repayments of principal during a given year. Provided by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), this financial support is aimed at fostering economic stability and growth in low-income countries through instruments such as the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility and the IMF Trust Fund. By capturing the dynamics of these financial flows in current U.S. dollars, the data provides valuable insights into the overall financial health and reliance on external funding of economies facing developmental challenges, thereby reflecting their capacity for sustainable growth and poverty alleviation initiatives.
