Central Government Dept
(IMF/ The World Bank / NSOs / OECD)
Central
Government Debt is the entire stock of direct government fixed-term contractual obligations to others outstanding on a
particular date. It includes domestic and foreign liabilities such as currency and money deposits, securities other than
shares, and loans. It is the gross amount of government liabilities reduced by the amount of equity and financial
derivatives held by the government. Because debt is a stock rather than a flow, it is measured as of a given date, usually
the last day of the fiscal year. |
