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.
