Monthly remittance inflows to Kenya, published by the Central Bank of Kenya in thousands of US dollars, split into North America, Europe and Rest of World alongside the published total. The regional split begins in January 2007: the 36 months from January 2004 report a total with all three regions at zero, as do January 2008 and December 2010. Those zeroes are the source's own reporting and are published as they stand rather than dropped, so a reader charting the regions should read the early years as total-only reporting rather than as an absence of remittances. From January 2007 the three regions sum to the published total in every month.
