External Debt measures the total outstanding liabilities of a country to non-resident creditors, encompassing both public and private sector obligations. This indicator is vital for assessing a nation's solvency and its ability to meet international financial commitments. High levels of external debt relative to GDP can increase vulnerability to global financial shocks and currency fluctuations. Economists monitor this figure to gauge the sustainability of a country's economic growth and its reliance on foreign capital.
The data is compiled based on the sum of all debt liabilities owed by residents to non-residents, including debt securities, loans, and trade credits, following IMF statistical standards.
