Description
International Debt Statistics (IDS) is the World Bank's annual dataset on the external debt of low- and middle-income countries. It reports debt stocks, disbursements, debt service and projected repayments by borrower and creditor type, with public and publicly guaranteed debt broken down by creditor, from 1970 onwards. The data come mainly from countries' loan-by-loan reporting of public and publicly guaranteed debt to the World Bank's Debtor Reporting System, which is a condition of borrowing from IBRD and IDA.
