tbf to the US they fund an absolute ton of things, eg. I didn’t realise they helped fund lets encrypt and now the CVE database either, I assume it’ll be a drip feed of things being cancelled slowly over time as they find them all
7.4 billion, which is around 0.7% of GDP. 0.66% of GNI.
For comparison, the US might win out on pure billions, but compared to the size of the economy, it uses a whopping 0.24% of the GNI on foreign aid, a figure that is almost certainly going to drop in the near future.
It looks like just the UK, France and Germany combined already add up to more aid with a combined GDP that’s much lower than the US. These kinds of graphs give a distorted picture due to the high population and GDP that the US has.
Four years? Boy, you are optimistic

What % of its GDP does the Netherlands have to put into international aid to make seventh place?!

The US traditionally has funded quite a few “for the good of the world” programs and aid. At least until recently. Thats a good graph.
The new overloads can’t be having with any of that Helping People nonsense. Not for free, anyway.
