Standardized statistics on private sector external debt

This page presents the standardized statistics on private sector external debt prepared by the BCRA. Two sets of series are published: the private sector external debt positions derived from the Survey on External Assets and Liabilities, from December 31, 2017 onwards; and the historical series obtained from the Survey on Debt Securities and Other External Liabilities, from 2001 to September 30, 2017.

Both sets are disseminated on a quarterly basis and are prepared in accordance with current regulations and statistical cooperation agreements with the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos, INDEC). Due to the methodological and compilation differences between the two surveys, the series should not be compared with each other.
