The stock, 19922024

Total external debt in current US dollars, so the path mixes new borrowing with the falling value of the dollar over 32 years. IDS carries no constant-price series, so this is not deflated. $550.7M in 1992, $193.49B in 2024.

What IDS does not carry for Ukraine

1 of the 24 IDS indicators carries no value for Ukraine in 2024: Debt forgiveness grants (current US$). A blank has three possible causes and IDS distinguishes none of them: the country did not report the series, the series does not apply to it (an IBRD stock for a country with no IBRD loan), or the series has ended for every country. So neither does this page.

Every IDS series here is what Ukraine reported to the World Bank. The bilateral leg of the creditor chart is the exception: this page derives it as a residual, and it absorbs whatever went unreported. Debt Ukraine did not report is not here.
