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. Section six distills the main messages for 2011 and the first half of 2012 from the information reported to Quarterly External Debt Statistics (QEDS) and Public Sector Debt (PSD) databases for developing and high income countries.
