How this figure is calculated
Debt service on external debt, public and publicly guaranteed (PPG) (TDS, current US$) divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Debt service on external debt, public and publicly guaranteed (PPG) (TDS, current US$) ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Debt service on external debt, public and publicly guaranteed (PPG) International Debt Statistics, World Bank (WB)
- Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
