As a service to users international debt statistics also set debt flows within the broader framework of aggregate net capital flows (debt and equity) to developing countries and includes a summary analysis of trends in 2011. The remainder of the overview is organized as follows. Section one analyze the key factors driving the evolution of developing countries' debt stocks and flows in 2011.

Section four assesses the level of developing countries' external debt, measured in relation to key macroeconomic variables, notably Gross National Income (GNI) and export earnings. Section five summarizes trends in aggregate net capital flows, debt and equity, to developing countries in 2011.
