What the numbers say
On record, the biggest yearly rise was US$2.7 million in 2021 and the biggest yearly fall was US$11.58 million in 2018. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2017 to 2024 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 24% of the movement over 8 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

What this measures
Bonds are securities issued with a fixed rate of interest for a period of more than one year. They include net flows through cross-border public and publicly guaranteed and private nonguaranteed bond issues. Data are in current U.S. dollars.
Limitations: The DRS encourages debtor countries to voluntarily provide information on their short-term external obligations. By its nature, short-term external debt is difficult to monitor: loan-by-loan registration is normally impractical, and monitoring systems typically rely on information requested periodically by the central bank from the banking sector. The World Bank regards the debtor country as the authoritative source of information on its short-term debt. Where such information is not available from the debtor country, data are derived from BIS data on international bank lending based on time remaining to original maturity.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a sum.
