External Debt by Creditor

Name: Ghana External Debt by Creditor
Creator: World Bank International Debt Statistics
License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Ghana's public and publicly guaranteed external debt broken down by who it is owed to, 1970 to 2032: the stock outstanding to each bilateral and multilateral lender and to bondholders, along with new commitments, disbursements, principal repaid, interest paid, total debt service and the net flow for each year. The creditor named "World" is the World Bank's own total across every creditor, not a lender, so summing the creditor rows would count the debt twice. Sourced from the World Bank International Debt Statistics, CC BY 4.0. 26300 records.
