economic aid

Financial help abroad

Economic aid is money, goods, or services provided by one country or organization to help another country's economy.

It may support development, disaster recovery, or political stability.

Aid can come as grants, loans, or technical assistance: The U.S. provides economic aid to dozens of developing nations.

Distinguished from military aid, though both often serve strategic interests.
