List of countries by external debt


This is a list of countries by external debt: it is the total public and private debt owed to non-residents repayable in internationally accepted currencies, goods or services, where the public debt is the money or credit owed by any level of government, from central to local, and the private debt the money or credit owed by private households or private corporations based on the country under consideration.
For information purposes, several non-sovereign entities are also included in this list. Note that while a country may have a relatively large external debt it could actually be a Net [international investment position|"net international creditor"] if its external debt is less than the total of external debt of other countries held by it.
