Table    Publication schedule

Notes:

This table is an extraction of the International Investment Position and covers debt instruments only (e.g. money market instruments, bonds and notes, loans, cash and deposits). Equity capital (e.g. shares or mutual fund shares) is excluded. For highly developed economies like Austria, which hold a substantial fraction of their cross-border financial assets/liabilities in the form of equity capital, these statistics draw an incomplete picture. By publishing these external debt statistics Austria meets the requirements issued by the IMF’s Special Data Dissemination Standard (SDDS).
