Notes: (1) Japan has a record of disbursements to the following 10 graduated countries and regions: Brunei, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, Israel, Hong Kong, the Republic of Korea (ROK), Macao, Slovenia, Bahrain and the Bahamas.

(2) The 2007 exchange rate designated by the Development Assistance Committee (DAC): US$1 = ¥117.8 (¥1.4 depreciation compared to 2006).

(3) Due to rounding the total may not equal the sum of each type of assistance.

(4) EBRD = European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

(5) Debt relief includes debt cancellation of yen loans and debt reduction of insured commercial claims. It does not include debt rescheduling.

(6) Grants provided through multilateral institutions have conventionally been reported as “Contributions and subscriptions to international organizations, etc.” However, since 2006, expenditures clearly addressing a country at the point of disbursement are considered as bilateral ODA and therefore newly reported as “Grant aid.”
