Key figures

What the numbers say

On record, the biggest yearly rise was US$20.12 million in 2017 and the biggest yearly fall was US$23.15 million in 2020. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2011 to 2020 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 5% of the movement over 9 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

What this measures

Private nonguaranteed external debt is an external obligation of a private debtor that is not guaranteed for repayment by a public entity. Net flows (or net lending or net disbursements) received by the borrower during the year are disbursements minus principal repayments. Long-term external debt is defined as debt that has an original or extended maturity of more than one year and that is owed to nonresidents by residents of an economy and repayable in currency, goods, or services. Data are in current U.S. dollars.

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