| Summary: | This year’s edition of International Debt
Statistics, successor to Global Development
Finance and World Debt Tables, and the fourth in
the series, is designed to respond to user demand
for timely, comprehensive data on trends in external
debt in low- and middle-income countries. The
World Bank’s Debtor Reporting System (DRS),
from which the aggregate and country tables presented
in this report are drawn, was established
in 1951. World Debt Tables, the first publication
that included DRS external debt data, appeared
in 1973 and gained increased attention during the
debt crisis of the 1980s. Since then, the publication
and data have undergone numerous revisions and
iterations to address the challenges and demands
posed by the global economic conditions.
Presentation of and access to data have been
refined to improve the user experience. The online
edition of International Debt Statistics 2018 now
provides a summary overview and a select set of
indicators, while an expanded dataset is available
online (datatopics.worldbank.org /debt/ids). |
