Following a previous project "Migrant Moving Money", this interactive visualization shows remittance flows between countries.
The countries are placed around the circle according to the continent/region they belong to and can be senders or receptors of money (Remittances sent/Remittances received). When clicking on a country the remittance flows related to that country are shown.
Based on the World Bank's dataset: "Bilateral remittance estimates using migrant stocks, destination country incomes, and source country incomes"
