Interest payments on external debt, private guaranteed by public sector
Private sector guaranteed by Public Sector long-term debt are aggregated. Public debt is an external obligation of a public debtor, including the national government, a political subdivision (or an agency of either), and autonomous public bodies. Publicly guaranteed debt is an external obligation of a private debtor that is guaranteed for repayment by a public entity. Interest payments are actual amounts of interest paid by the borrower in currency, goods, or services in the year specified. Long-term external debt is defined as debt that has an original or extended maturity of more than one year and that is owed to nonresidents by residents of an economy and repayable in currency, goods, or services. Data are in current U.S. dollars. Reported as: PPG. All creditors combined (IDS counterpart area: World); figures by creditor are not carried.

Quality profile
This profile describes what Interva can measure in the data. It does not claim the dataset is accurate, complete, or suitable for a particular use.
Recency
100%Latest observation is 2025; the catalog broadly reports to 2025, so this data is 0 year(s) behind (current).
Method: Compares the dataset's latest non-projected period with the year most datasets in the catalog end in. Up to 2 years behind is current — annual data is routinely published a year or two late — and more than 5 is stale. Measured from the data, not from when Interva last crawled it.
Temporal completeness
100%37 of 83 series skip at least one year inside their own span; the median series reports 100% of its years.
Method: Per series, years present divided by years from its first to its last observation; the median across series is reported. Annual periods are assumed, which holds for every series in the catalog today.
Geographic coverage
MeasuredCovers 83 of the 238 countries in the catalog.
Method: Counts distinct geographies with at least one observation. Not scored: a regional dataset covering its region completely is not deficient for omitting the rest of the world.
History depth
MeasuredThe median series has 21 observations; the earliest begins in 1970.
Method: Counts non-projected observations per series. Not scored: a long history is useful for trend work and irrelevant for a cross-section.
Revisions
Measured21 observation(s) restated by the publisher across 1 vintage(s) Interva has recorded.
Method: Counts values the publisher changed between Interva's publishes. Not scored: revising estimates is ordinary and often a sign of care, and the count is here so a reader citing a figure knows whether it moves.
Schema conformity
Not assessedNo declared schema or validation rules are attached to this dataset yet.
Validity
Not assessedNo field-level validation rules are attached to this dataset yet.
Consistency
Not assessedCross-series consistency rules are not defined yet. The obvious first one — whether two publishers measuring one concept agree within a stated tolerance — is a candidate.
2 scored from the data, 3 described without a score, 3 not assessed. Pipeline integrity: all 5 checks pass. Assessed 2026-11-07.
