Data for 2009

Short-Term Share of External Debt, 2009

2009, 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, 2009 covers 119 countries. Jordan is highest, at 59.6928; 3 countries share the lowest reading, 0.0000. The middle country reads 9.6147. Against 2008, 117 values changed (44 up, 73 down), the same countries are covered.
