What it is. Personal remittances received counts the money and goods that people working abroad send to households in Côte d'Ivoire, together with pay earned by residents who work temporarily overseas. It is measured in current US dollars, so exchange rates and price changes move the figure along with the volume of transfers. Cash carried home by hand or passed through informal networks usually escapes the count, so the recorded total is a floor for what families actually receive.
Higher is better. Higher is better here because more money arriving from abroad adds to household income and brings foreign currency into the economy. The latest figure, for 2024, is $1.8bn, up from $1.3bn a year earlier, a rise of 35.1%. Since 2015 the lowest level was $0.31bn in 2017, and the 2024 figure is the highest in that span.
Why it matters. For recipient households, a transfer of this size helps cover food, school fees, health costs and rent, and it arrives regardless of local harvests or wage rounds. For the state, the $1.8bn is a source of foreign currency that helps pay for imports. Growth of 35.1% in a single year also means more families depend on income earned abroad than in 2023.
