See also: List of sovereign states by external assets
This is a list of countries by external debt, the total public and private debt owed to
nonresidents repayable in foreign currency, goods, or services,[1] 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 in the country under consideration.
For informational purposes several non-sovereign entities are also included in this
list. Note that this list is gross debt, not net debt.
