How this figure is calculated
15_Debt securities held by nonresidents, total, short term divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
15_Debt securities held by nonresidents, total, short term ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- 15_Debt securities held by nonresidents, total, short term IMF
- 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.
