Talk:List of public debt

Took a lot of time, but finally updated the table. Interesting notes include the fact that Ireland's rank and percentage has not changed, as well as the fact that Canada is absent from the list, which I find a bit strange. --Bash 02:48, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The data provided by the CIA factbook is highly questionable. The very low values of many of the poorer countries are certainly wrong.

The World Banks Country at a glance Tables show dramaticaly higher values (even for external debt alone; e.g. Tanzania 74% of GDP) - ArminKow, 25 June 2005

Yes, questionable info. There are duplicated entries for Chile, Kazakhstan & Romania, but with different figures.

The CIA factbook may be highly questionable in your words, but at the bottom of the link you gave the World Bank seems to think it's accurate enough to be given as a reference for further information!

Except for the intro and disputes, this page was a subset of List of countries by public debt, so I redirected it there and will merge the comments. Zander 15:00, 29 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
