International Debt Statistics 2021
The World Bank’s annual report on the external debt of developing countries includes comprehensive data for 122 developing countries, as well as summary data for regions and income groups. This year’s edition of International Debt Statistics is designed to respond to user demand for timely, comprehensive data on trends in external debt in developing countries and help policymakers and analysts assess the potential impact of the Debt Service Suspension Initiative (DSSI) launched by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in April 2020. As in previous years, IDS provides statistical tables showing the external debt of developing countries that report public and publicly guaranteed external debt to the World Bank’s Debtor Reporting System (DRS). In addition, the publication showcases the broader spectrum of debt data collected and compiled by the World Bank. These include the high frequency, quarterly data for high-income economies and select developing countries reporting to the joint World Bank–IMF Quarterly External Debt Statistics (QEDS) and the Quarterly Public Sector Debt (PSDS) database. Presentation and access to data have been rendered to improve the user experience. Learn more or download IDS 2021.

For each of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, selected indicators have been identified and visualized to analyze trends and challenges, and to stimulate discussion on measurement issues.
