    Note: Countries printed in normal type are reporters to
    the Debtor Reporting System (DRS); those printed in italics do not report to the DRS but
    are included in aggregate tables. Letters in parenthesis indicate DRS reporters
    status: (A) as reported, (P) preliminary, and (E) estimated. The status "as
    reported" indicates that the country was fully current in its reporting under the
    (DRS) and that World Bank staff are satisfied that the reported data give an adequate and
    fair representation of the countrys total public debt. "Preliminary" data
    are based on reported or collected information but, because of incompleteness or other
    reasons, include an element of staff estimation. "Estimated" data indicate that
    countries are not current in their reporting and that a significant element of staff
    estimation has been necessary in producing the data tables. 
    a. For Bosnia and Herzegovina total debt, excluding IBRD and IMF
    obligations and short-term debt, is included under Yugoslavia, FR (Serbia and Montenegro). 
    b. Includes the debt of the former Soviet Union on the assumption
    that 100 percent of all outstanding external debt as of December 1991 has become a
    liability of the Russian Federation.

    Note: Countries printed in normal type are reporters to
    the Debtor Reporting System (DRS); those printed in italics do not report to the DRS but
    are included in aggregate tables. Low-income countries are those in which 1996 GNP per
    capita (calculated using the World Bank Atlas method) was no more than $785;
    middle-income countries are those in which GNP per capita was between $786 and $9,635.
