| 2.3 Additional Information on Concepts, Definitions and Scope | (i) External debt position data is consistent with corresponding International Investment Position (IIP) items and related balance of payment transactions. The Bank of Lithuania (BoL) produces a table that reconciles IIP data (stocks) with balance of payments data (flows), which include external debt. In principle, the general government external debt data (by instruments and original maturity) included in the total external debt position data published by BoL are broadly consistent with the data disseminated by the MoF (Ministry of Finance).
(ii) Long-term debt refers to debt with unlimited maturity or with maturity of more than one year. Short-term debt is debt payable on demand or with maturity of one year or less. |
