On the CIA Factbook site, one can find, for each country, something
called 'Debt External'. I can't figure out what it really is? Here is
the world's ranking for 'Debt External':
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2079rank.html
1 - if it's an 'external debt', it's funny to notice that the earth
has an 'external debt' of $54 trillion ... to whom ??? :)
2 - my country - Belgium - has a 'Debt External' of $1.3 trillion,
it's 4+ time it's GDP. The solution is not to run away to Switzerland,
it's worse there :)
My question is what is that 'Debt External' ?
