The figure for the US is not wrong: if you read the definition it's total public and PRIVATE debt, not just the central Government's. |

Figure for US is wrong. Currently (2010) it should be around 4 trillion. (according US Treasure Dept. data) |

How can China have external debt? After all, US owed so much debt to China. ?? |

Tahta, People in Turkey are made to believe they are seriously in debt. They are not though. Even Greece with lower GDP and budget has more debt.
Question, obviously the debt of USA is not external. To whom then? Individuals, international bankers? Like rotshchild or rockefeller families? Well then that explains why tiny rhode islands has 2 senators as giant california does |

great info?
The AJC (atlanta paper) they printed how each of us(US) owe $30,000. They printed a very poor picture for us. Why is our dollar going south when most of the other countries are much worse off than us? How does the United Kingdom etc. get any funds. The AJC said we are straining to make the interest payments, is not the world in the same condition. with China having a hugh debt how can they buy US companies when in true perspective they are worse off?
Thanks for you great info

Why isn't the US listed? Even if it doesn't have external debt, that should be explained or a negative number should be shown. |

this site is pathetic. Western Europe is utterly ommited is external debt stats. If you look up oil production, they forgot to include Venezuela!
Go here instead cia factbook instead for external debt and other statistics

This debt is "EXTERNAL" debt. United States is internally in debt for trillions of dollars due to the war but this chart is for debt which is owed to other countries. |

Where are data about US, UK, Ireland? The 3 country with the highest debt and per capita debt in the world are not in data about debt? Those data are fake. |

first there is the US and UK and many other countries missing and all the countries that are missing take the first places and by a considerable margin. Second, the CIA fact book is hardly the best source for this kind of statistics, try the Joint External Debt Hub made by the IMF and the World Bank: http://www.jedh.org |

Brendan - probably because your screen isn't big enough. At the same scale, you'd need 2 more monitors to fit the $8.1 trillion bar. You can get the current values from http://www.publicdebt.treas.gov/opd/opdpenny.htm |

Why is the United States not on this list? The fact book has data for it and other countries missing from the page. The US seems to be missing from other pages as well. Any reason why? |
