Full Description
This is a monthly statistical table produced by Haiti's Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), citing BRH (Banque de la République d'Haïti) as source, tracking the stock of Haiti's public sector external debt (including arrears) in aggregated form for each month from October 2011 to September 2012 (fiscal year 2011-12). Total external debt, all long-term, rose steadily from 683.8 million USD in October 2011 to 1,049.1 million USD by September 2012. The table decomposes the stock by bilateral creditors (United States, France, Spain, Italy, Taiwan, Venezuela, and 'Bandes' multi-creditor arrangements) and multilateral creditors (IBRD/IDA, IFAD, IMF, IDB, OPEC Fund), plus a separate line for rescheduled debt and arrears.
Bilateral creditors dominated the portfolio throughout the period, rising from 83.9% to 87.2% of total external debt, driven almost entirely by Venezuela (PetroCaribe-related financing), whose share climbed from 70.9% in October 2011 to 78.5% by September 2012 (485.1 to 823.3 million USD). Taiwan's bilateral claim fell in relative terms (12.3% to 7.8% of the total, 83.8 to 81.6 million USD), while the United States, France, Spain, and Italy each show zero balances throughout. Multilateral creditors' combined share fell from 15.4% to 12.0% of the total over the period (105.1 to 126.4 million USD), with IFAD and IMF as the largest multilateral lines and no arrears recorded on the current portfolio.
