This MEF statistical table, sourced from the Banque de la République d'Haïti (BRH), presents the aggregated monthly stock of Haiti's public sector external debt from October 2018 through September 2019, including payment arrears. All debt shown is long-term (100% of total in every month). Bilateral creditors dominate, rising from 90.3% to 91.1% of the total over the period, almost entirely accounted for by debt owed to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (PetroCaribe-related, including bandes/bands), which stood at 1,852.98 million USD in September 2019 versus 1,852.48 million USD in October 2018. Multilateral creditors' share fell from 9.1% to 8.4% of the total, driven by declining balances with the IMF (from 91.32 to 79.80 million USD), FIDA/IFAD, and OPEC. Rescheduled debt (dette réamenagée), owed to Chine Taipei, declined from 13.00 to 9.70 million USD. Arrears, tracked separately and reported for most months, rose from 175.97 million USD (October 2018) to 220.42 million USD (May 2019), the last month for which an arrears figure and percentage are given in the table.
