How to read this chart

This shows new international debt sales by general government. A yearly value is shown only when all four quarters are in the source.

What this does not show

Sales can replace old debt. This is not all government borrowing or all bonds sold at home.

  • This covers bonds classed as issued in international markets by public bodies based in each country. It is not all public borrowing. It is not all bonds held abroad.
  • New sales can replace old debt. Gross sales are not new spending.
  • A year appears only when all four quarters are reported. A missing quarter is not zero.
  • Yearly mean rates give an estimate in the chosen unit. This is not a sum of each day’s converted value.
