Short-term external debt is defined as debt that has an original maturity of one year or less. BIBF’s debt, which was compiled according to remaining maturity since the establishment of BIBF’s activities in 1993 has been adjusted to original maturity basis since January 1996, consistent with other external debt items. Non-bank debt is based on BOT’s external debt survey result as of end-1998. Historical series have been adjusted back to 1995 using flow data obtained through the International Transactions Reporting System (ITRS). Commencing 1999 debt statistics released are quarterly series. In the case where quarterly survey result is not yet finalized, monthly series are estimated by applying ITRS’s flow data with survey result of the previous quarter. Starting December 1998, debt of the suspended financial institutions has been removed from non-bank sector and reclassified as FIDF’s debt, which is part of state enterprises. The figure has regularly been adjusted to keep track of existing nonresident holders.
