Debt is reported as the difference between amounts borrowed and amounts repaid, adjusted for changes in the exchange rate. Data on gross outstanding debt are disseminated in US dollars only, except for debt guaranteed by the central government, which is disseminated in both Slovenian tolars and US dollars.
Debt is classified as foreign and domestic, using debt holder residency criteria.
In the interest rate breakdown, debt is grouped into fixed and variable interest rate instruments. Foreign debt is classified by type of debt holder and type of debt instrument. Data classified by type of debt instrument are divided into loans and bonds. Excluded is the debt of the social security and extra-budgetary funds. Institutional coverage of debt statistics corresponds to the coverage of the data disseminated for central government operations.
