NOTE FOR: Fred Demech
Deputy Executive Director, PFIAB
FROM: Executive Assistant/Executive
Director
Attached are the debt data requested.
Combined with the LDC numbers provided
earlier, these provide all we have
available on developed, developing,
and Communist country debt. Data on
short-term debt are lacking for most
countries; additional data on debt due
to U.S. banks would have to be acquired
from the Federal Reserve.
