Djibouti: Commercial banks and other lending (PPG + PNG) (NFL, current US$)

Key figures

Over five years it is down 10.67% from −US$2.39 million in 2010. Since 1980 it is down 153.12% from US$4.98 million in 1980. The World Bank has no value for 20 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.

What the numbers say

In 2015, Djibouti's commercial banks and other lending (PPG + PNG) (NFL, current US$) fell US$663,000 on 2014 (from −US$1.98 million to −US$2.64 million).

Across the 12 yearly changes before that (1983 to 2014), the average change was −US$309,500 and a typical year strayed about US$1.47 million from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.2 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was US$1.63 million in 2014 and the biggest yearly fall was US$3.94 million in 1983. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

What this measures

Commercial bank and other lending includes net commercial bank lending (public and publicly guaranteed and private non- guaranteed) and other private credits. Data are in current U.S. dollars. Proposed: Commercial bank and other lending includes net commercial bank and other private creditors lending excluding bonds (public and publicly guaranteed + private nonguaranteed).

Limitations: Data on external debt are gathered through the World Bank's Debtor Reporting System (DRS). Long term debt data are compiled using the countries report on public and publicly guaranteed borrowing on a loan-by-loan basis and private non guaranteed borrowing on an aggregate basis. These data are supplemented by information from major multilateral banks and official lending agencies in major creditor countries. Short-term debt data are gathered from the Quarterly External Debt Statistics (QEDS) database, jointly developed by the World Bank and the IMF and from creditors through the reporting systems of the Bank for International Settlements.

Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a sum.
