AMOUNTS DUE TO PARIS CLUB CREDITOR COUNTRIES
BY FOREIGN SOVEREIGN AND OTHER PUBLIC DEBTORS
AS OF 1ST SEPTEMBER 2008
The table below aggregates the amounts due to the Paris Club from sovereign and
other public debtors as of 1st September 2008.
These claims are held either by the Paris Club member States directly, or through
their appropriate institutions (especially export credit or official development aid
agencies) on behalf of the member States.
The table contains comprehensive data that cover the full range of claims held by
Paris Club members on any sovereign countries and public entities. It therefore
encompasses very different categories of debtors, around half of which have always
fully serviced their debt due to Paris Club members. Only 85 of the debtor countries
listed in the table have already negotiated an agreement with the Paris Club. A
significant part of the countries listed below are very unlikely to apply for debt relief in
the future given their current macroeconomic prospects.
The stock of claims is aggregated at a debtor country level. Official Development
Assistance (ODA) claims and non-Official Development Assistance claims are
indicated separately.
The total of Paris Club claims, excluding late interest, amounts to USD 330.2 bil ion,
of which USD 172.5 bil ion of ODA claims and USD 157.7 bil ion of non-ODA claims.

Disclaimer:
Although every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information it
contains, this table does not constitute a document of record.
In particular, some of the claims have not been reconciled with debtor countries.
In addition to that, the amounts indicated do not include late interest due to Paris
Club creditors by debtor countries in partial or full default of payment. The non
publication of the amounts of late interest does not bring into question the existence
and validity of these late interest amounts and the fact that they have to be paid. The
table also does not include certain older, pre-1945 sovereign debts.
A significant part of the claims held by Paris Club members are denominated in
currencies other than the US dollar. The amounts in the table are therefore subject to
fluctuations of exchange rates.
This table is provided for informative purpose only. It is updated yearly.
The Paris Club shall not be liable for the use and interpretation of the information
provided in this table.
