Central Bank of Egypt – External Position
Preface
The External Position of the Egyptian Economy Report is a series produced by the Economic Research Sector in the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE). The report tracks, on a quarterly basis, the international transactions that the Egyptian economy conducts with the rest of the world. It relies, for this purpose, on the national statistics that are regularly compiled in line with the SDDS prescriptions.
Enthused by the CBE keenness to enhance its disclosure, transparency and communication policy, the report is meant to serve several functions. Generally, it spreads, to a broad array of readers, knowledge of Egypt’s external accounts including the balance of payments, external debt, international investment position and external liquidity. Particularly, it monitors key external sector performance indicators of the economy in order to identify areas of policy needs. The information revealed in this series has also significant implications for decision-making, investment climate, doing-business environment and sovereign credit ratings.
The report contains 6 sections. The first section gives a
performance portrait of the key components of Egypt's Balance of Payments (BOP). The second and third review developments related to the International Investment Position (IIP) and external liquidity. The fourth and fifth show Egypt's external debt in its different classifications and the exchange rate developments. The last section is a statistical part that provides more details on the above mentioned five sections. This is in addition to a glossary.
The report is downloadable from CBE website www.cbe.org.eg Hard copies can be obtained from the Economic Research Sector, 8th floor, 54 El Gomhoreya Street, Cairo.

Central Bank of Egypt – External Position
Overview
Striving to bolster confidence in the Egyptian economy and achieve monetary stability, the CBE has taken several measures on 3 November, 2016 to rectify exchange rate policy by moving to a liberalized exchange rate regime, so that banks would be at liberty to quote and trade at any exchange rate. This move would allow the CBE to quell any distortions in the domestic foreign currency market and put foreign exchange activity back on the right and formal track through eradicating the parallel market altogether. The CBE’s Decision to liberalize the exchange rate regime on 3 November, 2016 led to the steady accumulation of foreign currency reserves through the formal channels. Egypt's BOP ran an overall surplus of about US$ 5.1 billion in July/September 2017/2018 (against about US$ 1.9 billion in the corresponding period). The current account deficit narrowed by 65.7 percent to about US$ 1.6 billion (from about US$ 4.8 billion). The capital and financial account recorded a net inflow of about US$ 6.2 billion (against about US$ 7.2 billion). The current account deficit was mainly traceable to the following developments: the trade deficit declined by 5.0 percent to about US$ 8.9 billion, the services surplus picked up by 101.8 percent, to record about US$ 2.8 billion, income balance ran a deficit of about US$ 1.5 billion), and unrequited current transfers (net) inched up by 37.3 percent, to register about US$ 6.0 billion. The capital and financial account revealed the following develop-ments: the net inflows of FDI in Egypt registered about US$ 1.6 billion, portfolio investment in Egypt unfolded a net inflow of about US$ 7.5 billion, and other assets and liabilities achieved a net outflow of about US$ 3.6 billion.
Egypt’s International Investment Position (IIP) at end of September 2017 recorded net external liabilities (assets minus liabilities) of about US$ 133.2 billion, up by 1.7 percent compared to end of June 2017. Net International Reserves (NIR) increased by US$ 5.2 billion to reach US$ 36.5 billion, thus covering 7.4 months of merchandise imports at end of September 2017. The increase was an outcome of the rise of foreign currencies by about US$ 5.1 billion and of gold by US$ 0.1 billion. During the Report’s preparation, NIR reached US$ 37.0 billion at end of December 2017. Banks’ net foreign assets increased by around US$ 1.7 billion during July/ September 2017/2018. Foreign currency deposits with banks decreased by 1.8 percent during the period concerned, reaching US$ 37.8 billion at end of September 2017. As a percentage of total deposits, they made up 25.3 percent. Total external debt increased by about 2.3 percent to about US$ 80.8 billion at end of September 2017, from US$ 79.0 billion at end of June 2017. The external debt remains within manageable limits, and its position continues to have a favorable struc-ture, as 85.1 percent of the debt are medium- and long-term. The weighted average of the inter-bank foreign exchange market rate revealed that the Egyptian pound interbank rate appreciated by 2.5 percent during July/September 2017/2018, as the EGP reached 17.6486 per US dollar at end of September 2017, against EGP 18.0911 per US dollar at end of June 2017.

BOP Performance
gypt's BOP ran an overall surplus of about US$ 5.1
billion in July/September 2017/2018 against about US$ 1.9 billion in the corresponding period. The current account deficit narrowed by 65.7 percent to about US$ 1.6 billion (from about US$ 4.8 billion). The capital and financial account recorded a net inflow of about US$ 6.2 billion (against about US$ 7.2 billion). Chart (1) shows the developments in Egypt’s BOP main components, on quarterly basis.
1- Current Account The current account deficit was mainly traceable to the following developments: the trade deficit declined by 5.0 percent to about US$ 8.9 billion (from about US$ 9.4 billion), the services surplus picked up by 101.8 percent, to record US$ 2.8 billion (against US$ 1.4 billion), and unrequited current transfers (net) inched up by 37.3 percent, to register about US$ 6.0 billion (versus US$ 4.4 billion). The income balance ran a deficit of about US$ 1.5 billion (against about US$ 1.1 billion).
1.1: Trade on Goods Trade volume increased by 3.4 percent, to reach US$ 20.6 billion (9.2 percent of GDP) during July/September 2017/18. The trade deficit decreased by US$ 474.3 million, to US$ 8.9 billion (4.0 percent of GDP) from US$ 9.4 billion, due to the following developments: Merchandise exports increased by 11.0 percent to US$ 5.8 billion, due to the increase in both oil exports by 16.8 percent, to reach US$ 1.8 billion (30.5 percent of total exports) and in non-oil exports by 8.6 percent to reach US$ 4.0 billion (69.5 percent of total exports). As a result, the exports/imports ratio mounted to 39.5 percent, from 35.8 percent.
Merchandise imports slightly increased by 0.7 percent to US$ 14.8 billion, reflecting the increase in both oil imports by 1.5 percent to US$ 2.8 billion (18.9 percent of total imports), and in non-oil imports by 0.5 percent to US$ 12.0 billion (81.1 percent of total imports).
The following charts illustrate the distribution of commodity exports by

Hereunder is the geographical distri-bution of merchandise exports and imports:
- Egypt's main trade partners in terms of exports were UAE, Italy, USA, UK, India, Germany, Turkey, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia and Canada. These countries combined, accounted for some 59.0 percent of total exports.

1.2: Services Balance The services surplus doubled to
reach about US$ 2.8 billion (against
about US$ 1.4 billion) as the increase
in services receipts outpaced the rise
in services payments, as follows: 1.2.1: Services receipts increased by 50.8 percent, to some US$ 5.7 billion (against about US$ 3.8 billion), driven by the increase in the following items: Tourism revenues to about US$
2.7 billion (against US$ 758.2 million), driven by the increase in the number of tourist nights to 28.2 million nights (against 9.2 million nights).

Government services receipts to
US$ 131.7 million (against US$ 62.5 million), due to the increase in the receipts from the Arab League expenses & the international organizations located in Egypt, and the expenses of the foreign embassies in Egypt.
On the other hand, Transportation receipts decreased
by 3.1 percent to about US$ 2.27 billion (against some US$ 2.34 billion), due to the fall in the receipts of Egyptian navigation companies. This came despite the rise in Suez Canal dues by 6.3 percent.
Other services receipts decreased
by 3.5 percent to US$ 581.9 million (against US$ 603.0 million), due to the fall in the fees of communication services, legal and consultation fees, and advertising & market research services.
1.2.2: Services payments rose by 20.3 percent, to about US$ 2.8 billion (against about US$ 2.4 billion), driven by the increase in the following items: Other services payments by 71.9
percent, to about US$ 1.4 billion (against US$ 785.2 million), driven by the amounts transferred abroad by foreign petroleum companies, higher payments of computer services, subscription to magazines &
newspapers, and communication services.
Government services payments to US$ 449.0 million (against US$ 157.0 million).
Transportation payments by
25.0 percent, to US$ 382.6 million (against about US$ 306.2 million), due to the rise in the amounts transferred by foreign aircraft and navigation companies.
On the other hand, Travel payments fell by 41.3
percent to US$ 649.3 million (against about US$ 1.1 billion), due to the decline in e-card payments by 62.3 percent to US$ 289.4 million (against US$ 767.7 million), as well as the decrease in pilgrimage (Hajj & Umrah) expenses.
1.3: Income Balance Investment income balance ran a deficit of US$ 1.5 billion in July/September 2017/18 (against some US$ 1.1 billion). This was an outcome of the rise of investment income payments to register about US$ 1.7 billion (against some US$ 1.2 billion), 51.6 percent of which were profit transfers by (oil and non-oil) foreign companies operating in Egypt, and the increase in investment income receipts to register US$ 229.0 million (against US$ 81.6 million).

1.4:Unrequited current transfers (Net) Unrequited current transfers (net) picked up by 37.3 percent, to register US$ 6.0 billion (versus US$ 4.4 billion), due mainly to the increase in net private transfers from US$ 4.3 billion to US$ 5.9 billion, supported by the increase in workers’ remittances by 37.2 percent. The net official transfers rose to US$ 43.1 million (from US$ 33.8 million). Against this background, some of the external balance indicators changed as shown in chart (11).
2- Capital and Financial Account The capital and financial account recorded a net inflow of about US$ 6.2 billion in July/September 2017/18 (against some US$ 7.2 billion), as an outcome of: A- Total FDI inflows registered
about US$ 3.0 billion (from US$ 3.4 billion), while total outflows recorded about US$ 1.4 billion (against about US$ 1.6 billion). Accordingly, net inflows of FDI in Egypt decreased to about US$ 1.6 billion (against about US$ 1.9 billion). It is worth mentioning that net inflows for oil sector investments increased by 84.2 percent, to post US$ 912.9 million (against US$ 495.5 million).
The sectorial breakdown of total FDI inflows as depicted in chart (12) shows that the oil sector has the biggest share of 66.8 percent. The services sector came second, with 14.7 percent distributed as follows: the financial sector (5.5 percent), the real estate sector (3.2 percent), the communication and information technology (2.0 percent), tourism sector (0.3 percent), and other services sector (3.7 percent). The share of the manufacturing sector was 12.5 percent, the construction sector 1.0 percent, the agricultural sector 0.1 percent, and the remaining portion was acquired by undistributed sectors.

B- Portfolio investment in Egypt augmented to unfold, a net inflow of about US$ 7.5 billion (against a net outflow of US$ 840.9 million). This was ascribed to the rise in foreigners' investments in Egyptian TBs, recording net purchases of some US$ 7.4 billion (against US$ 55.0 million). In addition, foreigners' investments on the Egyptian Exchange (EGX) rose to register net purchases of US$ 25.9 million (against net sales of US$ 63.3 million).
C- Medium - and long-term loans
and facilities achieved net disbursements of about US$ 1.2 billion (against US$ 888.3 million).
D- Short-term suppliers' credit realized net repayments of about US$ 312.0 million (against net disbursements of about US$ 570.8 million).
E- Other assets and liabilities
achieved a net outflow of US$ 3.6 billion (against a net inflow of US$ 4.8 billion). This came on the back of the rise in banks' foreign assets and foreign currency resources immediately after the liberalization of exchange rate. As such, banks' foreign assets rose by US$ 2.1 billion, and their foreign liabilities rose by only US$ 461.7 million.

External Liquidity
Central Bank of Egypt – External Position 9
External Liquidity A-Net International Reserves (NIR) The remarkable improvements in the
banking system's financial position
by foreign currency led to the steady
accumulation of foreign currency
reserves through the formal channels. During July/September 2017/2018,
NIR remained on the rise, increasing
by US$ 5.2 billion (against US$ 2.0
billion in the corresponding period a
year earlier) to reach US$ 36.5
billion, thus covering 7.4 months of
merchandise imports at end of
September 2017.
The increase was an outcome of the
rise in foreign currencies by about
US$ 5.1 billion and in gold by US$
0.1 billion.
During the Report’s preparation, NIR
reached US$ 37.0 billion at end of
December 2017.

External Debt
Central Bank of Egypt – External Position 11
External Debt
External debt increased by US$ 1.8
billion (2.3 percent), to post about
US$ 80.8 billion at end of September
2017 (compared with about US$ 79.0
billion at end of June 2017). This
increase came as a result of the rise in
net disbursements of loans and
facilities by US$ 1.3 billion,
alongside the depreciation of most
currencies of borrowing versus the
US dollar by US$ 0.5 billion.
A- Breakdown by Maturity
By original maturity, external debt
reaffirmed its usual pattern of long-
term external debt predominance at
end of Sept. 2017. Long-term ex-
ternal debt accounted for US$ 50.9
billion or 63.0 percent of the total,
whereas medium-term external
debt reached US$ 17.8 billion or
22.1 percent and short-term ex-
ternal debt accounted for the
smallest portion of US$ 12.1billion
or 14.9 percent.
By residual maturity1, medium- and
long-term external debt decreased, as
it represented 66.6 percent of the
total debt. In comparison, they ac-
counted for 85.1 percent of the total
by original maturity. Meanwhile,
short-term debt showed an increase,
as it represented 33.4 percent,
compared to 14.9 percent classified
by original maturity.

1 While the analytical presentation of external debt
by original maturity is the norm recommended in the External Debt Statistics Guide, residual maturity presentation still draws significant attention. In other words, compilation of external debt statistics based on original maturity helps in understanding the nature of capital flows; while the remaining maturity provides a profile of debt service payments, especially those falling due in the near term, and of potential liquidity risks facing the economy. Short-term debt by residual maturity comprises all components of short-term debt with original maturity of up to one year, and the amounts falling due –under medium- and long-term debt by original maturity– within one year or less.

reached about US$ 4.0 billion or 5.0 percent of total debt.
Other bilateral* debt amounted to about US$ 6.7 billion or 8.3 percent.
Buyers' & suppliers' credit reached about US$ 7.2 billion or 8.9 percent of total debt.
International and regional organizations' debt reached about US$ 23.4 billion or 29.0 percent of total debt.
Government bonds and notes reached about US$ 9.0 billion or 11.1 percent of total debt at end of Sept. 2017.

been placed at the CBE by some Arab countries posted US$ 18.3 billion (22.6 percent of total debt).
________________________ Including the Liquidity Support Facility (LSF) from China Development Bank (CDB) to CBE .
Non-guaranteed medium- and
long-term debt of the private sector registered US$ 158.9 million (about 0.2 percent of total debt).
Short-term debt decreased by about US$ 199.8 million to about US$ 12.1 billion or 14.9 percent of total debt.
C- Breakdown by Currency
Measuring the currency composition of Egypt's external debt is an important indicator that sheds light on the external debt exposure, arising from currency markets' volatility. A breakdown of the currency com-position of external debt indicates that the US dollar is the main borrowing currency, with a relative importance of 68.1 percent of the total. This upward biased share of US dollar largely reflects the fact that there are other outstanding obligations in US dollar to creditors other than the USA (such as the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD).

Exchange Rate Developments
The period covered by the Report has witnessed the liberalization of the Egyptian pound; a daring decision taken by CBE on 3 November 2016, with a view to giving banks more flexibility in pricing their currency trade operations, which aims to keep the hard cash within the official market and eliminate the parallel market. The decision comes in line with the economic reform program that enables the Egyptian economy to face current economic challenges, unleash its capabilities, and achieve the desired growth and operation rates, by combining and adapting to the present capabilities and utilizing the full range of Egypt’s human, natural, and material resources.
(i) Inter-bank Rate1:
During July/September 2017/18, the exchange rates of foreign currencies depreciated against the Egyptian pound. The weighted average of the US dollar in the Egyptian inter-bank market depreciated by 2.4 percent to record EGP 17.6486 at the end of September 2017, (against EGP 18.0911 at end of June 2017). _________________________ 1 The inter-bank foreign exchange market was
launched in Egypt in December 2004.
(ii) Market Rate: At end of September 2017, according to the foreign exchange market (buying price), most of the foreign currencies declined against the Egyptian pound. To illustrate, Swiss franc decreased by 3.4 percent, Japanese yen (100 yens) by 2.9 percent, US dollar; Saudi riyal; and UAE dirham by 2.4 percent each, Kuwaiti dinar by 2.1 percent and Chinese Yuan by 0.5 percent. Meanwhile the sterling pound increased by 2.1 percent and the Euro by 1.5 percent.

Central Bank of Egypt – External Position 75
Box. (1): Egypt's Subscription to SDDS and Data Quality Dimensions: In 1996, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) introduced the Special Data Dissemination Standards (SDDS). The SDDS is intended to guide countries that have, or seek to have, access to international capital markets in their provision of economic and financial statistics. Subscription to SDDS is voluntary and it requires subscribers to observe the standard and provide information on data and dissemination practices (the metadata) to the IMF for re-dissemination. The standard identifies 4 dimensions of data dissemination: coverage, periodicity, and timeliness; access by the public; the integrity of the disseminated data; and the quality of the data themselves. In particular, the data dimension lists 18 data category, providing coverage for 4 sectors (real, financial, fiscal and external) of the economy and prescribes minimum timeliness and frequency standard, summarized in the table below.
On January 31, 2005, Egypt became the 59th subscriber to the International Monetary Fund's Special Data Dissemination Standard (SDDS). The report of External Position contains external sector data that cover external debt, balance of payments, international reserves, merchandise trade, international investment position (IIP) and exchange rates. Such data are published in compliance with the requirement under Special Data Dissemination Standards (SDDS) of the IMF. Central Bank of Egypt compiles these statistics and disseminates them through press releases, its website, and at the same time, on the IMF's Dissemination Standard Bulletin Board (DSBB). Also, these data are included in the CBE main publications; quarterly Economic Review, Annual Report and Monthly Statistical Bulletin. As the title indicates, the most comprehensive and complete databases are those available from national sources, supplying high quality, timely and accurate data to international financial community to support investment activity.

Box. (2):Egypt's Data Quality Dimensions*: According to international rating agencies, having an efficient, effective and reliable economic data, especially in developing countries, is becoming increasingly crucial to assign an appropriate sovereign credit rating. Thus, a lack of data in this area will automatically translate into a perception of high risk. Therefore, highlighting the dimensions of Egypt's data quality by showing the results of World Bank index (BBSC 2017) will be an appropriate way to show how reliable are the Egyptian official data.
Egypt ranked 25th on World Bank's Bulletin Board on Statistical Capacity index on 146 developing countries and 1st on the MENA and African regions, with an overall statistical capacity index of 83.3 points, compared to 87.8 in 2016.
Statistical Capacity Indicator 2017 (on a scale of 0-100)
Indicator Egypt All Countries
Overall 83.3 68.8 Methodology 70 57.1 Source Data 90 65.8 Periodicity & timeliness 90 83.4
A country's statistical capacity means its ability to extract and publish reliable and timely statistical data, easily accessible by the public. The statistical capacity index, issued annually by the World Bank, consists of three sub-indicators which include; methodology, data sources, and its periodicity and timeliness. The latter measures the degree of information and data dissemination concerning changes in government policy, and how easily that information can be accessed by the public. It is worth mentioning that, aiming to improve the statistical capacity of 146 developing countries, the World Bank provides information on various aspects of national statistical systems through the BBSC indicator at its website.
As can be seen from the table and its chart, Egypt’s score outpaced the average score of all countries, either on the level of the overall index, or on the level of its three sub-indicators. _______________________________________ * Source: bbsc.Worldbank.org, accessed in November, 2017.

Box. (3): Doing Business in Egypt: One of the most important indices and reports that is closely related to investment climate and investor’s decisions is Doing Business. The Report has been designed and issued by the World Bank Group on an annual basis since 2003. It provides objective measures of business regulations for firms in 190 economies worldwide. The 2018 ranking on the ease of doing business is built upon indicator sets that measure and benchmark regulations affecting 10 areas in a business’s life cycle. Doing Business encompasses 2 types of data. The first is “Legal scoring indicators” that provides a measure of legal provisions in the laws and regulations. The other type is “Time and motion indicators”, which measures the efficiency and complexity in achieving a regulatory goal by recording the procedures, time and cost to complete a transaction according to all relevant regulations. By comparing business regulation environments across nations (the ease of doing business ranking) and over time (the distance to frontier score), Doing Business encourages countries to compete towards more efficient regulation; offers measurable benchmarks for reform; and serves as a resource for policymakers and other interested parties.

Box. (4):Tourism Sector Performance:
On Y-over-Y comparison, the tourism sector experienced a boom in activities during Q1 of 2017/2018, as it witnessed a sharp increase in all tourism indicators; tourism receipts, the number of tourist arrivals, and the number of tourist nights compared to the same period last year. (Lines 1, 2, and 5 in the table below). Ministry of Tourism figures show that a total of around 2,334 thousand tourists came from all over the world and spent 28,209 thousand nights in Q1 of 2017/2018, with an increase of 55.0 percent and 206.9 percent, respectively, compared with the same period of the previous year. The 55.0 percent increase in tourist arrivals resulted from more visitors coming from European countries (76.8 percent of total increase). Meanwhile, there was an increase in the numbers coming from other regions as follows; Middle East region (12.5 percent), African countries (4.3 percent), Asia & the Pacific region (3.9 percent), and the Americas (2.4 percent).
The average expenditure per night scaled up to US$ 95.6/night in Q1 of 2017/2018 from US$ 82.5 /night in the corresponding quarter a year earlier (line 7 in the following table). This increase was mainly attributed to the pick up in the number of tourist arrivals and the huge increase in number of tourist nights. Spurred by the increase in the number of tourist nights (206.9 percent), combined with the increasing effect of the average expenditure per night (15.9 percent), travel receipts' data in the balance of payments recorded an increase of US$ 1,938.5 million or 255.7 percent to US$ 2,696.7 million in the first quarter 2017/18. During Q1 of 2017/2018, data shows that visitors stayed longer on average of 12.1 nights per person compared to 6.1 nights per person in the same period of the previous year (line 6). Moreover, African tourists headed the list in terms of the length of stay per visitor, with an average of (16.9 nights/visitor). The Americas and Middle East countries followed with 16.1 and 14 nights per visitor respectively then the European countries with 10.6 nights/visitor, followed by Asia & the Pacific region (10 nights/visitor).

Glossary Balance of Payments: a statistical statement that summarizes, for a specific period of time, the economic transactions of an economy with the rest of the world. Bilateral Debt: Loans extended by a bilateral creditor. Bilateral Rescheduling Agree-ments: Rescheduling agreements reached bilaterally between the debtor and creditor countries. These are legally the equivalent of new loan agreements. After a Paris Club rescheduling, such agreements are required to put the debt restructuring set forth in the multinational Agreed Minute into effect.
Buyer’s Credit: A financial ar-rangement in which a bank or financial institution, or an export credit agency in the exporting country, extends a loan directly to a foreign buyer or to a bank in the importing country to pay for the purchase of goods and services from the exporting country (also known as financial credit). This term does not refer to credit extended directly from the buyer to the seller (for example, through advance payment for goods and services). Capital Account: a BOP account that covers capital transfers and the acquisition or disposal of non-produced non-financial items, such as patents. Current Account: a BOP account that covers all transactions in goods, services, income, and current transfers between residents and non- residents. Cutoff Date: The date (established at the time of a country’s first Paris Club debt reorganization / restruc-turing) before which loans must have been contracted in order for their debt service to be eligible for restructuring. New loans extended after the cutoff date are protected
from future restructuring (subordi-nation strategy). In exceptional cases, arrears on post-cutoff-date debt can be deferred over short periods of time in restructuring agreements. Debt Instruments: Existing debt instruments typically arise out of contractual relationships under which an institutional unit (the debtor) has an unconditional liability to another institutional unit (the creditor) to repay principal with or without interest, or to pay interest without principal. These instruments include debt securities, loans, trade credit, and currency and deposits. Debt instruments may also be created by the force of law—in particular, obligations to pay taxes or to make other compulsory payments— or through rights and obligations that result in a debtor accepting an obligation to make future payment(s) to a creditor. Debt Service: Refers to payments in respect of both principal and interest. Actual debt service is the set of payments actually made to satisfy a debt obligation, including principal, interest, and any late payment fees. Scheduled debt service is the set of payments, including principal and interest, which is required to be made through the life of the debt. Debt Sustainability Analysis: A study of a country’s medium- to long-term debt situation. A country’s eligibility for support under the HIPC Initiative is determined on the basis of such an analysis, jointly under-taken by the staffs of the IMF, the World Bank, and the country concerned. External Debt: Gross external debt, at any given time, is the outstanding amount of those actual current, and not contingent, liabilities that require payment(s) of interest and/or prin-cipal by the debtor at some point(s)

in the future and that are owed to non-residents by residents of an economy. Financial Account: a BOP account that covers transactions between residents and non-residents in direct, portfolio, other investment, financial derivatives, and reserve assets. Gross Domestic Product (GDP): the value of an economy's total output of goods and services, less intermediate consumption, plus net taxes on products and imports. It can be broken down by output, ex-penditure, or income components. The main expenditure aggregates are final consumption of household and government, gross fixed capital formation, changes in inventories and imports and exports of goods and services. International Investment Position (IIP): The IIP is the stock of external financial assets and liabilities on a specified reference date, usually the end of the quarter or year. The change in position between two end- periods reflects financial trans-actions, valuation changes, and other adjustments occurring during the period. Long-Term External Debt: Ex-ternal debt that has a maturity of more than one year. Maturity can be defined either on an original or remaining basis. Multilateral Creditors: These cre-ditors are multilateral institutions such as the IMF and the World Bank, as well as other multilateral development banks. Official Development Assistance (ODA): Flows of official financing administered with the promotion of the economic development and welfare of developing countries as the main objective, and which are concessional in character with a grant element of at least 25 percent (using a fixed 10 percent rate of discount). By convention, ODA flows comprise
contributions of donor government agencies, at all levels, to developing countries (“bilateral ODA”) and to multilateral institutions. ODA receipts comprise disbursements by bilateral donors and multilateral institutions. Lending by export credit agencies - with the pure purpose of export promotion - is excluded. Original Maturity: the period of time from when the financial asset/liability was created to its final maturity date. Paris Club: An informal group of creditor governments that has met regularly in Paris since 1956 to reschedule bilateral debts; the French treasury provides the secretariat. Creditors meet with a debtor country to reschedule its debts as part of the international support provided to a country that is experiencing debt servicing difficulties and is pursuing an adjustment program supported by the IMF. The Paris Club does not have a fixed membership, and its meetings are open to all official creditors that accept its practices and procedures. The core creditors are mainly OECD member countries, but other creditors attend as relevant for a debtor country. Russia became a member in September 1997. Remaining (Residual) Maturity: The period of time until debt payments fall due. In the External Debt Guide, it is recommended that short-term remaining maturity of outstanding external debt be mea-sured by adding the value of outstanding short-term external debt (original maturity) to the value of outstanding long-term external debt (original maturity) due to be paid in one year or less.
