Reviewed series · Credit & Debt · Quarterly · USD billions · BIS.CREDIT.TOTAL.USD.Q · ZAF

The all-sector aggregate uses government market values when available and nominal government values otherwise; do not assume all its components have market-value coverage. Gross outstanding core debt: loans, debt securities, and currency/deposits, financed by all domestic and foreign lenders. Assets are not deducted. End-quarter stock converted to US dollars at the prevailing end-quarter exchange rate; not a credit-flow or PPP measure. BIS statistics are freely sourced and their inclusion must not result in any additional charge to users. BIS attribution is required; resale is not permitted by SOTW's rights policy. Collection time is not the original publication timestamp. Source dimensions, unit multipliers, confidentiality and observation flags are retained. Terms: https://data.bis.org/help/legal
