The data include the loans which are used by the central government units raised by the Ministry of Finance according to the Law on Raising Foreign Loans and Giving State Guarantees For Foreign Loan Contracts, and other loan and bond creating debt of the central government. The data cover the debt of the State Budget, the Social Security Fund, and the Health Insurance Fund, but exclude those of extrabudgetary funds except the Environment Fund which was incorporated into the State Budget beginning in mid-1999. The institutional coverage of the central government debt data is therefore the same as the institutional coverage of the data on central government operations.
Domestic debt is broken down by debt instrument, by debt holder, and by maturity .
Separately identifiable data on debt guaranteed by the central government are also disseminated. The source of the data are loan contracts, and records of loan payments and repayments made in accordance with the loan contracts. The data are published on a consolidated basis, that is, central government debt held by other units of central government is eliminated from the data. The foreign currency debt is revalued monthly. The fiscal year is the same as the calendar year.
