| Summary: | The little data book on external debt, a
pocket edition of Global Development Finance 2012: external
debt of developing countries contains statistical tables on
the external debt of the 129 countries that report public
and publicly guaranteed external debt under the debtor
reporting system. It also includes tables of selected debt
and resource flow statistics for individual reporting
countries as well as summary tables for regional and income
groups. It is the culmination of a year-long process that
requires extensive cooperation from people and organizations
around the globe, national central banks, and ministries of
finance, major multilateral organizations, and many
departments of the World Bank. The little data book on
external debt provides a quick reference for users of the
Global Development Finance 2012 book, CD-ROM, and online
database. The general cutoff date for data is September
2011. The little data book on external debt covers external
debt stocks and flows, major economic aggregates, key debt
ratios, and the currency composition of long-term external
debt for all countries reporting through the debtor
reporting system. Terms used in tables are defined in the
glossary. The economic aggregates presented in the tables
are prepared for the convenience of users. Although debt
ratios can provide useful information about developments in
debt-servicing capacity, drawing valid conclusions from them
requires careful economic evaluation. |
