Full Description

This is a one-page monthly statistical table issued by Haiti's Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), presenting the outstanding stock of the public sector's external debt in aggregated form, including payment arrears, for the twelve months from October 2020 to September 2021, expressed in millions of US dollars.
