1 Refers to monthly data
2 In some instances, data on domestic financing from banking sources and the Accountant General would differ
due to the differences in timing when the transactions are recorded.
3 Fortnightly data
4 In monetary statistics published by Bank Negara Malaysia, currency and deposits
by non-residents with banks is classified as part of external liability of the banking system,
and not external debt. With effect from 30 September 2003, the IMF SDDS has now classified currency
and deposits by non-residents (for all maturities) as external debt. External debt for Malaysia,
incorporating this new component, would amount to RM 250.6
billion (USD75.9 billion) as at end June 2010.
Excluding currency and deposits of non-residents, total external debt amounted to
RM221.7 billion
(USD67.2 billion).
5 Financial Intermediation Services Indirectly Measured
6 Effective from the first quarter of 2008, the external debt data of Malaysia has been redefined to treat entities in Labuan International Business and Financial Centre (IBFC) as residents.
