| | External debt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | External debt (or foreign debt) is that part of the government debt of a country which is owed to creditors outside the country. | | | Having understood external debt as that part of sovereign (or government debt) of a country which is owed to outsiders (or foreigners), it can be defined as the total outstanding liabilities to the external world on behalf of the host nation. | | | A borrowing of an individual or corporate of a nation from outside is not included in this term external debt as it is one specific to or on behalf of the government. |

| | Debt restructuring involves the reduction in the burden of an existing debt through refinancing, rescheduling, buy-back, issuance of collateralised bonds and the provision of new money. | | | External debt management became a major responsibility of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN") in the 1980s, necessitating the setting up of a Department in the Bank to undertake the functions in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Finance. | | | Between 1958 and 1977, the the resort to foreign debt was minimal, as debts contracted during the period were the concessional debts from bilateral and multilateral sources with longer repayment periods and lower interest rates constituting about 78.5 per cent of the total debt stock. |

| | The growth in the domestic public bonded debt until 1992 was caused by deficit financing of the overall fiscal balance. | | | The justification for using privatisation revenues for the repurchase of debts is that the public companies themselves contributed to the accumulation of these debts in the past. | | | Of this, external debt accounted on average for 93.4 percent or 549 percent of GDP although through reschedulings, debt forgiveness and stock of debt operation, this component of the debt at end-June 1996 had been reduced to about 235 percent of GDP. |

| | Within the overall growth of external debt during the 1990s in Latin America, growing shares of public debt were held directly and indirectly by non-residents; additionally, the sharp rise in FDI and portfolio equity inflows increased foreign-exchange claims on the current account in the form of profit and dividend remittances to foreign investors. | | | The difference in reducing the flow of external debt (a reduction of the interest rate) and in a stock reduction may appear to be a semantic one, at a first glance. | | | Fiscal policies are not only limited by high public debt service due to tightened monetary policy that increase the amount of deflation needed to attain the required improvement in the fiscal (and external) accounts, and the negative impact of austerity on internal demand and investment prospects, as analyzed above. |

| | Odious Debts - External debt is more political than economic |
| | The premise of these humane supporters of debt forgiveness is simple: Any relief to the poorest countries of their burdensome debt payments should enable them to focus spending on vital social programs such as health care and education. | | | However, an important aspect of the debt issue should be emphasised to illuminate the discussion: the debt issue is more political than it is economic. | | | So let no one equate the debt of a nation with the debt owed by an individual or a corporate citizen to a bank. |

| | Africa's debt is also the least important, in volume terms, estimated at 16.0 per cent of the total of developing countries' debt; but it is the heaviest in per capita terms and in terms of African countries'capacity to service. | | | Since Africa's external debt constituted one of the major constraints to the financing of growth recovery, specific measures were recommended towards reducing the debt-service burden. | | | Most of the efforts have focused mainly on official debt, but the complexity of Africa's debt problems requires that other components of debt, in particular commercial and multilateral debts, need to be taken into account, lest they undermine the efforts made on official debt. |
