Notes: Personal remittances comprise personal transfers and compensation of employees. Personal 
transfers consist of all current transfers in cash or in kind made or received by resident households to 
or from nonresident households. Personal transfers thus include all current transfers between resident 
and nonresident individuals. Compensation of employees refers to the income of border, seasonal, and 
other short-term workers who are employed in an economy where they are not resident and of residents 
employed by nonresident entities (World Bank. World Development Indicators Metadata).
