debt-concepts

Core concepts in sovereign debt analysis, domestic and external, that hold across data sources. Covers external against domestic debt and the three ways of drawing the line between them, where domestic public debt figures come from and what sets domestic debt apart, which parts of the public sector a debt figure covers, face value against present value, the choices that make two figures for "external public debt" or "debt service" differ (IMF credit, creditor groups, Chinese lenders, regional definitions, denominators) and the choices ONE's published analysis makes, concessionality under the World Bank, OECD and IMF definitions, and how debt relief appears in aid data and in debt data. Load for any question about a country's public, external or domestic debt, its creditors, debt service or debt relief, alongside the skill for the data source in use.
