List of countries by external debt - Wikipedia List of countries by external debt This article may be confusing or unclear to readers. In particular, most readers will not understand `` external '' debt and will confuse with `` public '' debt, and for tax - haven locations like Ireland, Luxembourg and Singapore, `` external debt '' is a meaningless statistic, as none of it relates to the local economy. Please help us clarify the article. There might be a discussion about this on the talk page. ( September 2018 ) For net international debt by country ( external debt owing to other countries minus external debt of other countries held ), see Net international investment position. For public debts by country, see List of countries by public debt. This is a list of countries by external debt, which is the total public and private debt owed to nonresidents repayable in internationally accepted currencies, goods or services, where the public debt is the money or credit owed by any level of government, from central to local, and the private debt the money or credit owed by private households or private corporations based in the country under consideration. For informational purposes, several non-sovereign entities are also included in this list. Note that while a country may have a relatively large external debt ( either in absolute or per capita terms ) it could actually be a `` net international creditor '' if its external debt is less than the total of the external debt of other countries held by it. For example, although the UK has more external debt than France, it has more external assets giving it a stronger NIIP.
