The Joint
External Debt Hub (JEDH)—jointly developed by the
Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the
International Monetary Fund (IMF), the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD) and the
World Bank (WB)—brings together external debt data and
selected foreign assets from international creditor/market
and debtor/national sources.
The JEDH disseminates an expanded range of
creditor/market data series on the external debt and
selected foreign assets of developed, developing and
transition countries and territories.
The JEDH also features creditor/market- and debtor/national-based
data comparisons of countries’ external debt, and provides
users with access to metadata. Data are updated on a
quarterly basis.
The
JEDH uses
Statistical Data and
Metadata Exchange (SDMX), which applies
technological innovation to the context and content of
information being exchanged through a common framework. Participating agencies also view the JEDH
as a mechanism for enhancing the transparency, timeliness
and availability of external debt statistics to a global
user community. The JEDH is a product of the Inter-Agency Task
Force on Finance Statistics that produced the
External Debt Statistics:
Guide for Compilers and Users. |
