Israel’s external debt

Israel’s external debt data show the balance of Israel’s liabilities in debt instruments to nonresidents at two points in time—generally the beginning and end of a quarter.  The data relate to gross external debt and net external debt (gross external debt minus foreign assets in debt instruments), and are presented by actual time to redemption on a profile date, by various breakdowns: sector (public, nonbank private, banking); credit range (short—up to one year; medium-long—more than one year); and financial instrument (bonds, loans, deposits, commercial credit).  Information is also provided on debt by original term to redemption, composition of changes in the debt balance, and forecast repayment of principal and interest (annual reporting).
