Monthly and long-term United States Public Debt data: historical series and analyst forecasts curated by FocusEconomics.

I downloaded this dataset from Wikipedia. I was startled when I came across a video to realise that the United States has the highest external debt among world countries. India and Brazil lie at around 20th positions. United Kingdom's external debt is a staggering 273% of their GDP while India's is 19.20 %. Brazil's external debt is 38% of their GDP. The United States' external debt is 96.40 % of their GDP while Japan has 101 % of its GDP as its external debt.

The dataset contains the country names, their external debt, their per capita external debt, the date of entering the data and the external debt as a percentage of their GDP.

The data can be cleaned and can form an excellent use case for LLM based data analytics. The data must be cleaned. The data can be combined with other financial data of the respective countries to form a complete database of financial metrics.

This database compiles up-to-date standardized statistics on sovereign debt issuances for the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region and contains biannual data starting in 2006 through December 2022. Sovereign debt data is classified by legislation, creditor, currency, and maturity amongst others for 26 countries. The availability of valid, comparable, and standardized public debt data is essential for the implementation of sound policies in LAC countries. This is why at the core of the LAC Debt Group initiative is the development of a standardized sovereign debt database to help debt managers, policymakers, and other actors of financial markets analyze the evolution and composition of public debt in the region and conduct cross-country comparisons. The information of this database is provided by the public debt offices of LAC countries in response to a questionnaire specifically designed to allow comparability of data. The questionnaire, whose response is non-compulsory, is intended to compile up-to-date standardized statistics for objective and homogeneous definitions of public debt.

Debt-trap diplomacy is a term in international finance which describes a creditor country or institution extending debt to a borrowing nation partially, or solely, to increase the lender's political leverage. The term was coined by Indian academic Brahma Chellaney.

The creditor country is said to extend excessive credit to a debtor country with the intention of extracting economic or political concessions when the debtor country becomes unable to meet its repayment obligations.The conditions of the loans are often not publicized, and benefit the lender. The borrowed money commonly pays for contractors and materials sourced from the creditor country. Although the term is most commonly associated with China, it has also been applied to the International Monetary Fund (IMF); both allegations, however, are disputed. The term "debt-trap diplomacy" began to be used in United States government documents during the Trump administration. A number of U.S. government documents refer to it, including the 2020 Department of State report "The Elements of the China Challenge".
