Short-Term Share of External Debt, 2007

2007, as World Bank Group’s 2026 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

This is the share of a country’s external debt that falls due within a year. Short-term debt has to be repaid or rolled over quickly, so a high share leaves a borrower exposed if lenders stop lending or interest rates rise.

Short-Term Share of External Debt, 2007 covers 118 countries. Liberia is highest, at 62.45; 5 countries share the lowest reading, 0.00. The middle country reads 11.78. Against 2006, 115 values changed (70 up, 45 down), the same countries are covered.
