This web site, a companion to the annual publication U.S. Overseas Loans and Grants, Obligations and Loan Authorizations—commonly known as the Greenbook—provides a complete historical record of United States' (U.S.) foreign aid to the rest of the world by reporting all loans and grants authorized by the U.S. Government for each fiscal year.
Assistance Data
Users can access standard tables already constructed, or create custom tables and reports by selecting recipient countries, years and USG assistance programs. Data is available in either historical or constant dollars. The historical-dollar series looks at current-dollar values actually obligated or lent in that year. The constant-dollar price series, converts each year's loans and obligations amounts into 2008 dollar equivalents. The constant-dollar series allows you to evaluate, on a comparable basis, loans and obligations that occurred in different time periods.
