Full Description

This MEF statistical table presents Haiti's total public sector external debt (including arrears) on a monthly basis from October 2014 through September 2015, in millions of US dollars, sourced from the BRH. Total external debt rose steadily over the period, from 1,849.4 M USD in October 2014 to 1,982.9 M USD in September 2015, all of it classified as long-term debt. The stock is broken down between bilateral creditors (about 91.5-92.1 percent of the total throughout the period, overwhelmingly owed to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which alone accounted for roughly 86-87 percent of total external debt via PetroCaribe-related financing, with smaller balances to Chine Taipei and regional development banks) and multilateral creditors (around 7-7.5 percent, split among FIDA, FMI, BID and OPEC, with BIRD/IDA and BID at zero). A small rescheduled-debt line (around 1 percent of the total, mainly Chine Taipei) and arrears (rising from 1.7 M USD in October 2014 to 23.1 M USD in September 2015) are also tracked separately.
