T he International Debt Report (IDR), formerly International Debt
Statistics (IDS), is a longstanding annual publication of the
World Bank featuring external debt statistics and analysis for the
121 low- and middle-income countries that report to the World Bank
Debtor Reporting System. IDR 2022 includes (1) analyses of external
debt stocks and flows from 2010 to 2021 for these countries; (2) an
assessment of the evolution of the creditor composition of external
debt over the past decade with particular emphasis on the e mergence
of nontraditional bilateral creditors and private creditors and how this
has impacted the structure of borrowers’ public debt portfolios and
debt servicing costs, which complicates the debt restructuring pro-
cess; (3) a focus on how the World Bank has sought to enhance data
quality and transparency against the backdrop of rapidly changing
global debt dynamics (including an increase in commercial b orrowing,
nontraditional lenders, and new instruments) that contribute to debt
transparency issues; (4) tables and charts detailing debtor and creditor
composition of debt stock and flows, terms volume, and terms of new
commitments, maturity structure of future debt service payments and
debt burdens, measured in relation to gross national income and export
earnings for each country; and (5) a one-page summary for each country,
plus global, regional, and income-group aggregates showing debt stocks
and flows, relevant debt indicators, and metadata for 6 years (2010 and
2017–2021).
